The method of anticlustering partitions a pool of elements into groups (i.e., anticlusters) with the goal of maximizing between-group similarity or within-group heterogeneity. The anticlustering approach thereby reverses the logic of cluster analysis that strives for high within-group homogeneity and clear separation between groups. Computationally, anticlustering is accomplished by maximizing instead of minimizing a clustering objective function, such as the intra-cluster variance (used in k-means clustering) or the sum of pairwise distances within clusters. The main function anticlustering() gives access to optimal and heuristic anticlustering methods described in Papenberg and Klau (2021; <doi:10.1037/met0000301>), Brusco et al. (2020; <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12186>), Papenberg (2024; <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12315>), Papenberg, Wang, et al. (2025; <doi:10.1016/j.crmeth.2025.101137>), Papenberg, Breuer, et al. (2025; <doi:10.1017/psy.2025.10052>), and Yang et al. (2022; <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2022.02.003>). The optimal algorithms require that an integer linear programming solver is installed. This package will install lpSolve (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=lpSolve>) as a default solver, but it is also possible to use the package Rglpk (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=Rglpk>), which requires the GNU linear programming kit (<https://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html>), the package Rsymphony (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=Rsymphony>), which requires the SYMPHONY ILP solver (<https://github.com/coin-or/SYMPHONY>), or the commercial solver Gurobi, which provides its own R package that is not available via CRAN (<https://www.gurobi.com/downloads/>). Rglpk', Rsymphony', gurobi and their system dependencies have to be manually installed by the user because they are only suggested dependencies. Full access to the bicriterion anticlustering method proposed by Brusco et al. (2020) is given via the function bicriterion_anticlustering(), while kplus_anticlustering() implements the full functionality of the k-plus anticlustering approach proposed by Papenberg (2024). Some other functions are available to solve classical clustering problems. The function balanced_clustering() applies a cluster analysis under size constraints, i.e., creates equal-sized clusters. The function matching() can be used for (unrestricted, bipartite, or K-partite) matching. The function wce() can be used optimally solve the (weighted) cluster editing problem, also known as correlation clustering, clique partitioning problem or transitivity clustering.

Accumulated Local Effects (ALE) were initially developed as a model-agnostic approach for global explanations of the results of black-box machine learning algorithms. ALE has a key advantage over other approaches like partial dependency plots (PDP) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP): its values represent a clean functional decomposition of the model. As such, ALE values are not affected by the presence or absence of interactions among variables in a mode. Moreover, its computation is relatively rapid. This package reimplements the algorithms for calculating ALE data and develops highly interpretable visualizations for plotting these ALE values. It also extends the original ALE concept to add bootstrap-based confidence intervals and ALE-based statistics that can be used for statistical inference. For more details, see Okoli, Chitu. 2023. â Statistical Inference Using Machine Learning and Classical Techniques Based on Accumulated Local Effects (ALE).â arXiv. <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2310.09877>.

Enables sampling from arbitrary distributions if the log density is known up to a constant; a common situation in the context of Bayesian inference. The implemented sampling algorithm was proposed by Vihola (2012) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-011-9269-5> and achieves often a high efficiency by tuning the proposal distributions to a user defined acceptance rate.
