AMDconfigurations - Geometric Analysis of Configurations in High-Dimensional Spaces
Computes Average Membership Degree (AMD) from
soft-membership matrices and constructs AMD curves across
candidate configuration counts. The current curve backend uses
repeated fuzzy c-means fits while keeping the AMD definition,
membership estimation, curve construction, and final assignment
as separate operations. Fitted memberships, convergence
diagnostics, preprocessing transformations, seeds, row maps,
and process-level reproducibility links are retained. The
package reports numerical curve features but leaves their
scientific interpretation to an explicitly justified analysis.
The method was introduced by Mendoza and Araújo (2022)
