[R] Time-Ordered Clustering

[Prew, Paul]

Hello All,

Does anyone know of a package that performs constraint-based clusters?
Ideally the package could perform "Time-Ordered Clustering", a technique
applied in a recent journal article by Runger, Nelson, Harnish (using MS
Excel). Quote, "in our specific implementation of constrained
clustering, the clustering algorithm remains agglomerative and
hierarchical, but observations or clusters are constrained to only join
if they are adjacent in time."  CRAN searches using variants of
"cluster" and/or "constraint" and/or "time" etc. didn't yield anything I
could recognize.

Thank you,
Paul
