r-factree

Implements the Factor-Augmented Clustering Tree (FACT) algorithm for clustering time series data. The method constructs a classification tree where splits are determined by covariates, and the splitting criterion is based on a group factor model representation of the time series within each node. Both threshold-based and permutation-based tests are supported for splitting decisions, with an option for parallel computation.
