  <dc:title>Cluster Analysis via Random Partition Distributions</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package caviarpd version 0.3.22</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Cluster analysis is performed using pairwise distance information and a random partition distribution. The method is
             implemented for two random partition distributions. It draws samples and then obtains and plots clustering estimates.
             An implementation of a selection algorithm is provided for the mass parameter of the partition distribution. Since 
             pairwise distances are the principal input to this procedure, it is most comparable to the hierarchical and k-medoids
             clustering methods. The method is Dahl, Andros, Carter (2022+) &lt;doi:10.1002/sam.11602&gt;.</dc:description>
