		Bivariate Within- and Between-Cluster Correlations // Separates
		supplied variables into within- and between-cluster components
		and calculates bivariate correlations for each level
		separately. For Pearson correlations, the centered-score
		decomposition corresponds to commonly used between- and within-
		cluster correlations reviewed by Tu et al. (2025)
		doi:10.1002/sim.10326. The package's descriptive Spearman
		option is distinct from the clustered rank parameters
		introduced in that paper. The package is also motivated by the
		distinction between within- and between-person variation
		described by Curran and Bauer (2011)
		doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.093008.100356 and by Hamaker (2024)
		doi:10.1080/00273171.2022.2155930. The package is intended for
		longitudinal or otherwise clustered data where researchers need
		transparent correlation matrices before fitting more complex
		multilevel models.
