How to cite the R package partition

partition is a popular R package that is available at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/partition/index.html. By citing R packages in your paper you lay the grounds for others to be able to reproduce your analysis and secondly you are acknowledging the time and work people have spent creating the package.

APA citation

Formatted according to the APA Publication Manual 7th edition. Simply copy it to the References page as is.

APA

The minimal requirement is to cite the R package in text along with the version number. Additionally, you can include the reference list entry the authors of the partition package have suggested.

Example of an in-text citation

Analysis of the data was done using the partition package (v0.1.3; Millstein et al., 2020).

               and noise. Dimensionality reduction (DR) methods have been
               developed to mitigate these challenges. However, many approaches
               are not scalable to large dimensions or result in excessive
               information loss. Results The proposed approach partitions data
               into subsets of related features and summarizes each into one
               and only one new feature, thus defining a surjective mapping. A
               constraint on information loss determines the size of the
               reduced dataset. Simulation studies demonstrate that when
               multiple related features are associated with a response, this
               approach can substantially increase the number of true
               associations detected as compared to principal components
               analysis, non-negative matrix factorization or no DR. This
               increase in true discoveries is explained both by a reduced
