Implementations of the k-means, hierarchical agglomerative and DBSCAN clustering methods for functional data which allows for jointly aligning and clustering curves. It supports functional data defined on one-dimensional domains but possibly evaluating in multivariate codomains. It supports functional data defined in arrays but also via the fd and funData
classes for functional data defined in the fda and funData
packages respectively. It currently supports shift, dilation and affine warping functions for functional data defined on the real line and uses the SRVF framework to handle boundary-preserving warping for functional data defined on a specific interval.
