  <dc:title>MEchanistic Clustering - Treatment eXposure Framework</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package mectx version 1.1.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements the MEC-TX (MEchanistic Clustering - Treatment
    eXposure) framework for encoding, clustering, and survival analysis of
    real-world oncology treatment timelines. Provides functions for
    normalising medication records, computing treatment intervals, performing
    k-means clustering in PCA space, assigning line-of-therapy labels, and
    comparing survival outcomes across treatment groups. Designed for use
    with registry-based cohorts such as the ORIEN AVATAR dataset. Methods
    follow the digital-twin framework described in Dhrubo and Spakowicz (2026)
