Package for Brik, Fabrik and Fdebrik Algorithms to Initialise Kmeans

Implementation of the BRIk, FABRIk and FDEBRIk algorithms to initialise k-means. These methods are intended for the clustering of multivariate and functional data, respectively. They make use of the Modified Band Depth and bootstrap to identify appropriate initial seeds for k-means, which are proven to be better options than many techniques in the literature. Torrente and Romo (2021) It makes use of the functions kma and kma.similarity, from the archived package fdakma, by Alice Parodi et al.
