Description: Provides basic tools and wrapper functions for computing
        clusters of instances described by multiple time-to-event
        censored endpoints. From long-format datasets, where one
        instance is described by one or more dated records, the main
        function, `make_state_matrices()`, creates state matrices.
        Based on these matrices, optimised procedures using the Jaccard
        distance between instances enable the construction of
        longitudinal typologies. The package is under active
        development, with additional tools for graphical representation
        of typologies planned. For methodological details, see our
        accompanying paper: `Delord M, Douiri A (2025)
        <doi:10.1186/s12874-025-02476-7>`.
