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 QAP_2SUM 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.
