#' hierbase: Enabling Hierarchical Inference
#'
#' The hierbase package provides the functions to perform hierarchical inference.
#' The main workflow consists of two function calls.
#'
#' @section Functions:
#' The building of the hierarchical tree can be achieved by either of the functions
#' \code{\link{cluster_vars}} or \code{\link{cluster_positions}}.
#' The function \code{\link{advance_hierarchy}} (with 'build-in' group test functions) 
#' and \code{\link{run_hierarchy}} (with a user specified group test function) perform 
#' the hierarchical testing by going top down through the hierarchical tree and obviously 
#' require the hierarchical tree as an input.
