The 'support' package provides the functions `sp()` and `sp_seq()` for computing the support points in Mak and Joseph (2018) <DOI:10.1214/17-AOS1629>. Support points can be used as a representative sample of a desired distribution, or a representative reduction of a big dataset (e.g., an "optimal" thinning of Markov-chain Monte Carlo sample chains). This work was supported by USARO grant W911NF-14-1-0024 and NSF DMS grant 1712642.
