title: 'GAPR: Generalized Association Plots'
version: 0.1.5
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.GAPR
abstract: Provides a comprehensive framework for visualizing associations and interaction
  structures in matrix-formatted data using Generalized Association Plots (GAP). The
  package implements multiple proximity computation methods (e.g., correlation, distance
  metrics), ordering techniques including hierarchical clustering (HCT) and Rank-2-Ellipse
  (R2E) seriation, and optional flipping strategies to enhance visual symmetry. It
  supports a variety of covariate-based color annotations, allows flexible customization
  of layout and output, and is suitable for analyzing multivariate data across domains
  such as social sciences, genomics, and medical research. The method is based on
  Generalized Association Plots introduced by Chen (2002) <https://www3.stat.sinica.edu.tw/statistica/J12N1/J12N11/J12N11.html>
  and further extended by Wu, Tien, and Chen (2010) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csda.2008.09.029>.
