spinebil: Investigating New Projection Pursuit Index Functions

Projection pursuit is used to find interesting low-dimensional projections of high-dimensional data by optimizing an index over all possible projections. The 'spinebil' package contains methods to evaluate the performance of projection pursuit index functions using tour methods. A paper describing the methods can be found at <doi:10.1007/s00180-020-00954-8>.
