Description: Implements multiple allocation and selection strategies of 
    sampling to construct core collections primarily from clustered or grouped 
    germplasm collection data. Provides methods for allocating entries to 
    clusters/groups based on group sizes, group-wise distance-based diversity 
    metrics, and group-wise diversity index estimates. Includes procedures for 
    selecting entries within clusters/groups through random sampling, genetic 
    distance-based approaches, and optimized diversity metric–based selection 
    methods. See the package documentation for more, including full list of 
    references for the methods implemented.
