A reported number of clusters or "types" can then be tested against what the data''s own margins and covariance already produce, using any clustering pipeline. A t-copula option adds tail dependence to the null, so that an apparent excess of clusters can be checked against a heavier-tailed alternative before it is read as evidence of types.
