Description: Quantifies clustering quality by measuring both cohesion
        within clusters and separation between clusters. Implements
        advanced silhouette width computations for diverse clustering
        structures, including: simplified silhouette (Van der Laan et
        al., 2003) <doi:10.1080/0094965031000136012>, Probability of
        Alternative Cluster normalization methods (Raymaekers &
        Rousseeuw, 2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2050249>, fuzzy
        clustering and silhouette diagnostics using membership
        probabilities (Campello & Hruschka, 2006; Menardi, 2011; Bhat &
        Kiruthika, 2024) <doi:10.1016/j.fss.2006.07.006>,
        <doi:10.1007/s11222-010-9169-0>,
        <doi:10.1080/23737484.2024.2408534>, and multi-way clustering
        extensions such as block and tensor clustering (Schepers et
        al., 2008; Bhat & Kiruthika, 2025)
        <doi:10.1007/s00357-008-9005-9>,
        <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6973596/v1>. Provides tools for
        computation and visualization (Rousseeuw, 1987)
        <doi:10.1016/0377-0427(87)90125-7> to support robust and
        reproducible cluster diagnostics across standard, soft, and
        multi-way clustering settings.
