Description: Genie is a robust hierarchical clustering algorithm
        (Gagolewski, Bartoszuk, Cena, 2016
        <DOI:10.1016/j.ins.2016.05.003>). 'genieclust' is its faster,
        more capable implementation (Gagolewski, 2021
        <DOI:10.1016/j.softx.2021.100722>).  It enables clustering with
        respect to mutual reachability distances, allowing it to act as
        an alternative to 'HDBSCAN*' that can identify any number of
        clusters or their entire hierarchy.  When combined with the
        'deadwood' package, it can act as an outlier detector.
        Additional package features include the Gini and Bonferroni
        inequality indices, external cluster validity measures (e.g.,
        the normalised clustering accuracy, the adjusted Rand index,
        the Fowlkes-Mallows index, and normalised mutual information),
        and internal cluster validity indices (e.g., the
        Calinski-Harabasz, Davies-Bouldin, Ball-Hall, Silhouette, and
        generalised Dunn indices). The 'Python' version of 'genieclust'
        is available via 'PyPI'.
