abstract: '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) <https://doi.org/10.1080/0094965031000136012>, Probability of Alternative
  Cluster normalization methods (Raymaekers & Rousseeuw, 2022) <https://doi.org/10.1080/10618600.2022.2050249>,
  fuzzy clustering and silhouette diagnostics using membership probabilities (Campello
  & Hruschka, 2006; Menardi, 2011; Bhat & Kiruthika, 2024) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fss.2006.07.006>,
  <https://doi.org/10.1007/s11222-010-9169-0>, <https://doi.org/10.1080/23737484.2024.2408534>,
  and multi-way clustering extensions such as block and tensor clustering (Schepers
  et al., 2008; Bhat & Kiruthika, 2025) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s00357-008-9005-9>,
  <https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-6973596/v1>. Provides tools for computation and
  visualization (Rousseeuw, 1987) <https://doi.org/10.1016/0377-0427(87)90125-7> to
  support robust and reproducible cluster diagnostics across standard, soft, and multi-way
  clustering settings.'
