#' @title Voting-based consensus clustering
#'
#' @description Consensus Clustering performs voting-based consensus on a set of
#' single-source partitions. Each data matrix is clustered separately and the
#' resulting label matrix is reconciled into a single consensus partition by an
#' iterative voting scheme. Three voting methods are available: Iterative Voting
#' Consensus (IVC), Iterative Probabilistic Voting Consensus (IPVC) and Iterative
#' Pairwise Consensus (IPC).
#'
#' @param List A list of data matrices. It is assumed the rows are corresponding with the objects.
#' @param type Indicates whether the provided matrices in "List" are either data matrices ("data"),
#' distance matrices ("dist") or clustering results obtained from the data ("clust").
#' @param distmeasure A vector of the distance measures to be used on each data matrix. Should be one of "tanimoto", "euclidean", "jaccard", "hamming". Defaults to c("tanimoto","tanimoto").
#' @param normalize Logical. Indicates whether to normalize the distance matrices or not, defaults to c(FALSE, FALSE) for two data sets. More details on normalization in \code{Normalization}.
#' @param method A method of normalization. Should be one of "Quantile","Fisher-Yates", "standardize","Range" or any of the first letters of these names. Default is c(NULL,NULL) for two data sets.
#' @param clust Choice of clustering function (character). Defaults to "agnes".
#' @param linkage Choice of inter group dissimilarity (character) for each data set. Defaults to c("flexible", "flexible") for two data sets.
#' @param alpha The parameter alpha to be used in the "flexible" linkage of the agnes function. Defaults to 0.625 and is only used if the linkage is set to "flexible".
#' @param nrclusters The number of clusters to divide each individual dendrogram in. Default is c(7,7) for two data sets.
#' @param gap Logical. Whether the optimal number of clusters should be determined with the gap statistic. Defaults to FALSE.
#' @param maxK The maximal number of clusters to investigate in the gap statistic. Default is 15.
#' @param votingMethod The voting method to be performed: one of "IVC", "IPVC" or "IPC".
#' @param optimalk The number of clusters for the final consensus partition. Defaults to 7.
#' @return The returned value is a list of two elements:
#' \item{DistM}{A NULL object}
#' \item{Clust}{The resulting clustering}
#' The value has class 'Ensemble'.

#' @title Weighting on Membership clustering
#'
#' @description Weighting on Membership (WonM) is a hierarchy-based consensus
#' technique. Each data matrix is hierarchically clustered and the resulting
#' dendrogram is cut into a range of K values. For every cut a co-membership
#' matrix is built, recording which objects fall in the same cluster. These
#' matrices are averaged within and across data sets to produce an overall
#' consensus matrix, which is transformed into a dissimilarity and clustered a
#' final time.
#'
#' @param List A list of data matrices. It is assumed the rows are corresponding with the objects.
#' @param type Indicates whether the provided matrices in "List" are either data matrices ("data"),
#' distance matrices ("dist") or clustering results obtained from the data ("clusters").
#' @param distmeasure A vector of the distance measures to be used on each data matrix. Should be one of "tanimoto", "euclidean", "jaccard", "hamming". Defaults to c("tanimoto","tanimoto").
#' @param normalize Logical. Indicates whether to normalize the distance matrices or not, defaults to c(FALSE, FALSE) for two data sets. More details on normalization in \code{Normalization}.
#' @param method A method of normalization. Should be one of "Quantile","Fisher-Yates", "standardize","Range" or any of the first letters of these names. Default is c(NULL,NULL) for two data sets.
#' @param nrclusters A list with, for each data matrix, the sequence of numbers of clusters to cut the dendrogram in. Defaults to list(seq(5,25), seq(5,25)).
#' @param clust Choice of clustering function (character). Defaults to "agnes".
#' @param linkage Choice of inter group dissimilarity (character) for each data set. Defaults to c("flexible", "flexible") for two data sets.
#' @param alpha The parameter alpha to be used in the "flexible" linkage of the agnes function. Defaults to 0.625 and is only used if the linkage is set to "flexible".
#' @return The returned value is a list of two elements:
#' \item{DistM}{The resulting consensus dissimilarity matrix}
#' \item{Clust}{The resulting clustering}
#' The value has class 'WonM'.
