This R package and github repository is an
add-on package to the R packages flexclust
and flexmix.
These two root packages are suites for flexible clustering with both
partitioning and model-based methods allowing for easy method variation
and comparison.
With flexord, we provide new distance and centroid
functions and new model drivers for component distributions that are
tailored towards clustering ordinal or mixed-with-ordinal data.
We wrote this package to accompany the paper “Ordinal clustering in
the flex-scheme” (2025) by Ernst D, Ortega Menjivar L, Scharl T, Grün B,
currently submitted to AJS. In this
paper, we reviewed methods available for ordinal data clustering and
applied many of the methods in our extensive simulation study. The
replication code for the simulation study itself is collected in the
repository AJS-flexord.
You can find a more end user friendly introduction to the package, and a listing of the new methods we provide here.
The stable version of the package is available at CRAN, and can be installed via:
install.packages("flexord")You can install the developer version of the package via:
devtools::install_github("dernst/flexord")These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
