  Description     : Fast hierarchical clustering routines for GNU R

 Fastcluster implements fast hierarchical, agglomerative clustering
 routines. Part of the functionality is designed as drop-in replacement
 for existing routines: “linkage” in the SciPy package
 “scipy.cluster.hierarchy”, “hclust” in R's “stats” package, and the
 “flashClust” package. It provides the same functionality with the
 benefit of a much faster implementation. Moreover, there are
 memory-saving routines for clustering of vector data, which go beyond
 what the existing packages provide. For information on how to install
 the Python files, see the file INSTALL in the source distribution.


The package is maintained in Debian Med team as a precondition for one
of our packages and available at

   Vcs-Svn: svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-fastcluster/trunk/

Kind regards

        Andreas.
