"Old Techniques for New Times": the RMaCzek package for producing Czekanowski's Diagrams
Abstract
Inspired by the MaCzek Visual Basic program we provide an R package, RMaCzek, that produces Czekanowski's diagram. Our package permits any seriation and distance method the user provides. In this paper we focus on the OLO and QAP2SUM methods from the seriation package. We illustrate the possibilities of our package with three anthropological studies, one socio-economical one and a phylogenetically motivated simulation study.
