Description: Fast clustering of large datasets by hierarchically merging
    components of a K-means solution based on the pairwise overlap between
    the Gaussian mixture components implied by the K-means partition, as
    proposed by Melnykov and Michael (2020) <doi:10.1007/s00357-019-09314-8>.
    Implements the DEMP-K merging algorithm with single, Ward's, average,
    and complete linkages, the overlap map display for selecting the number
    of clusters, four K-means variants corresponding to Gaussian mixtures
    with spherical or elliptical, homoscedastic or heteroscedastic
    components, and a tool for selecting the number of K-means components.
