Description: It is very common nowadays for a study to collect multiple
        features and appropriately integrating multiple longitudinal
        features simultaneously for defining individual clusters
        becomes increasingly crucial to understanding population
        heterogeneity and predicting future outcomes.  'BCClong'
        implements a Bayesian consensus clustering (BCC) model for
        multiple longitudinal features via a generalized linear mixed
        model. Compared to existing packages, several key features make
        the 'BCClong' package appealing: (a) it allows simultaneous
        clustering of mixed-type (e.g., continuous, discrete and
        categorical) longitudinal features, (b) it allows each
        longitudinal feature to be collected from different sources
        with measurements taken at distinct sets of time points (known
        as irregularly sampled longitudinal data), (c) it relaxes the
        assumption that all features have the same clustering structure
        by estimating the feature-specific (local) clusterings and
        consensus (global) clustering.
