Description: Over sixty clustering algorithms are provided in this
        package with consistent input and output, which enables the
        user to try out algorithms swiftly. Additionally, 26
        statistical approaches for the estimation of the number of
        clusters as well as the mirrored density plot (MD-plot) of
        clusterability are implemented. The packages is published in
        Thrun, M.C., Stier Q.: "Fundamental Clustering Algorithms
        Suite" (2021), SoftwareX, <DOI:10.1016/j.softx.2020.100642>.
        Moreover, the fundamental clustering problems suite (FCPS)
        offers a variety of clustering challenges any algorithm should
        handle when facing real world data, see Thrun, M.C., Ultsch A.:
        "Clustering Benchmark Datasets Exploiting the Fundamental
        Clustering Problems" (2020), Data in Brief,
        <DOI:10.1016/j.dib.2020.105501>.
