PAST seriation method implemented in R #23

Open benmarwick opened 1 week ago

benmarwick commented 1 week ago

The PAST software is a free closed source program that is popular in paleontology and archaeology and uses a seriation algorithm from Brower and Kile (1988) which was also documented in Burroughs & Brower (1982).

There was no implementation of this in R until recently when @kbvernon wrote one here: https://github.com/kbvernon/brower-kile-1988, which is excellent and finally provides an open source option for this seriation method.

I think it would be really great if it could be incorporated into this package, as this package is the go-to for all things seriation. I'm hoping to start a discussion to let @mhahsler know of this new implementation, and encourage @kbvernon to make a PR here.

Thanks! And yes, I'm happy to submit a PR if this is something the authors would like to include.
