QuadratiK
=========

Introduction
-------------

The QuadratiK package is implemented in both **R** and **Python**, providing a comprehensive set of goodness-of-fit tests and a clustering technique using kernel-based quadratic distances. This framework aims to bridge the gap between the statistical and machine learning literatures. It includes:

* **Goodness-of-Fit Tests** : The software implements one, two, and k-sample tests for goodness of fit, offering an efficient and mathematically sound way to assess the fit of probability distributions. Expanded capabilities include supporting tests for uniformity on the :math:`d`-dimensional Sphere based on Poisson kernel densities.

* **Clustering Algorithm for Spherical Data**: the package incorporates a unique clustering algorithm specifically tailored for spherical data. This algorithm leverages a mixture of Poisson-kernel-based densities on the sphere, enabling effective clustering of spherical data or data that has been spherically transformed. This facilitates the uncovering of underlying patterns and relationships in the data.

* **Additional Features**: Alongside these functionalities, the software includes additional graphical functions, aiding users in validating cluster results as well as visualizing and representing clustering results. This enhances the interpretability and usability of the analysis.
