abstract: Functional clustering aims to group curves exhibiting similar temporal behaviour
  and to obtain representative curves summarising the typical dynamics within each
  cluster. A key challenge in this setting is class imbalance, where some clusters
  contain substantially more curves than others, which can adversely affect clustering
  performance. While class imbalance has been extensively studied in supervised classification,
  it has received comparatively little attention in unsupervised clustering. This
  package implements functional iterative hierarchical clustering ('funIHC'), an adaptation
  of the iterative hierarchical clustering method originally developed for multivariate
  data, to the functional data setting. For further details, please see Higgins and
  Carey (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s11634-024-00611-8>.
