  <dc:title>Bootstrapping Estimates of Clustering Stability</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package bootcluster version 0.4.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implementation of the bootstrapping approach for the estimation of clustering stability and its application in estimating the number of clusters, as introduced by Yu et al (2016)&lt;doi:10.1142/9789814749411_0007&gt;. Implementation of the non-parametric bootstrap approach to assessing the stability of module detection in a graph, the extension for the selection of a parameter set that defines a graph from data in a way that optimizes stability and the corresponding visualization functions, as introduced by Tian et al (2021) &lt;doi:10.1002/sam.11495&gt;. Implemented out-of-bag stability estimation function and k-select Smin-based k-selection function as introduced by Liu et al (2022) &lt;doi:10.1002/sam.11593&gt;. Implemented ensemble clustering method based-on k-means clustering method, spectral clustering method and hierarchical clustering method.</dc:description>
