Aclust
is not my own work.
This repository is merely a copy of the Aclust
R package developed by Tamar Sofer. This version of Aclust
was downloaded on 30 April, 2014 from http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/tamar-sofer/packages/.
For full details of the method, please see the paper Sofer, T., Schifano, E. D., Hoppin, J. A., Hou, L., & Baccarelli, A. A. (2013). A-clustering: a novel method for the detection of co-regulated methylation regions, and regions associated with exposure. Bioinformatics, 29(22), 2884-2891.

@brentp has also written a Python implementation of the A-clustering algorithm.
