abstract: '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>.'
