How To Install r-cran-fastcluster on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-fastcluster on Kali Linux. r-cran-fastcluster is Fast hierarchical clustering routines for GNU R

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-fastcluster on Kali Linux.

What is r-cran-fastcluster

r-cran-fastcluster is:

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.
