infocentroid: Information-Dense Centroid Metrics

Traditional central tendency and dispersion measures such as the mean and standard deviation can be misleading for multimodal or outlier-contaminated data. This package implements information-theoretic alternatives that weight observations by their local probability density, focusing on the region containing the bulk of the data. The core functions include ic_weights() for kernel density or histogram based entropy weighting, ic_center() and ic_dispersion() for weighted location and spread, ic_combined() for a single information density score between zero and one, and ic_plot() for visualization.
