Description: clustComp is a package that implements several techniques
        for the comparison and visualisation of relationships between
        different clustering results, either flat versus flat or
        hierarchical versus flat. These relationships among clusters
        are displayed using a weighted bi-graph, in which the nodes
        represent the clusters and the edges connect pairs of nodes
        with non-empty intersection; the weight of each edge is the
        number of elements in that intersection and is displayed
        through the edge thickness. The best layout of the bi-graph is
        provided by the barycentre algorithm, which minimises the
        weighted number of crossings. In the case of comparing a
        hierarchical and a non-hierarchical clustering, the dendrogram
        is pruned at different heights, selected by exploring the tree
        by depth-first search, starting at the root. Branches are
        decided to be split according to the value of a scoring
        function, that can be based either on the aesthetics of the
        bi-graph or on the mutual information between the hierarchical
        and the flat clusterings. A mapping between groups of clusters
        from each side is constructed with a greedy algorithm, and can
        be additionally visualised.
