Hierarchical and partitioning algorithms to cluster blocks of variables. The partitioning algorithm includes an option called noise cluster to set aside atypical blocks of variables. Different thresholds per cluster can be sets. The CLUSTATIS method (for quantitative blocks) (Llobell, Cariou, Vigneau, Labenne & Qannari (2020) doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2018.05.013, Llobell, Vigneau & Qannari (2019) doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2019.02.017) and the CLUSCATA method (for Check-All-That-Apply data) (Llobell, Cariou, Vigneau, Labenne & Qannari (2019) doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2018.09.006, Llobell, Giacalone, Labenne & Qannari (2019) doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2019.05.017) are the core of this package. The CATATIS methods allows to compute some indices and tests to control the quality of CATA data (Llobell, Bonnet & Giacalone (2024) doi:10.1111/joss.12941) . Multivariate analysis and clustering of subjects for quantitative multiblock data, CATA, RATA, Free Sorting and JAR experiments are available. Clustering of observations (products in sensory analysis) in multi-block context (notably with ClusMB strategy) is also included (Llobell & Giacalone (2025) doi:10.1111/joss.70024).Performing clustering based on CATA and liking at the same time is possible thanks to cluscata_liking function (Vigneau, Cariou, Giacalone, Berget & Llobell (2022) doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2021.104358). Clustering of variables (quantitative, qualitative or mixed) can be done thanks to the MixCluStatis() function.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("ClustBlock", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-clustblock

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-ClustBlock

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ClustBlock

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
