Description: Implements a model-based clustering method for categorical
        life-course sequences relying on mixtures of
        exponential-distance models introduced by Murphy et al. (2021)
        <doi:10.1111/rssa.12712>. A range of flexible precision
        parameter settings corresponding to weighted generalisations of
        the Hamming distance metric are considered, along with the
        potential inclusion of a noise component. Gating covariates can
        be supplied in order to relate sequences to baseline
        characteristics and sampling weights are also accommodated. The
        models are fitted using the EM algorithm and tools for
        visualising the results are also provided.
