Description: Computes the optimal number of regions (or subdivisions) and 
    their position in serial structures without a priori assumptions and to visualize 
    the results. After reducing data dimensionality with the built-in function for
    data ordination, regions are fitted as segmented linear regressions
    along the serial structure. Every region boundary
    position and increasing number of regions are iteratively fitted and
    the best model (number of regions and boundary positions) is selected
    with an information criterion. This package expands on the previous
    'regions' package (Jones et al. (2018) <doi:10.1126/science.aar3126>) with improved
    computation and more fitting and plotting options.
