In dimRed: A Framework for Dimensionality Reduction

#' @title The dimRed package
#'
#' @description This package simplifies dimensionality reduction in R by
#'   providing a framework of S4 classes and methods. dimRed collects
#'   dimensionality reduction methods that are implemented in R and implements
#'   others. It gives them a common interface and provides plotting
#'   functions for visualization and functions for quality assessment.
