  <dc:title>Buttler-Fickel Distance and R2 for Mixed-Scale Cluster Analysis</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package bfcluster version 1.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>
    Implements the distance measure for mixed-scale variables proposed by 
    Buttler and Fickel (1995), based on normalized mean pairwise distances 
    (Gini mean difference), and an R2 statistic to assess clustering quality.</dc:description>
