Provides methods for spatial concentration and radius-based risk 
    calculations. The package focuses on efficient determination of the sum of 
    observations within a given radius, identifying areas of high local 
    concentration, and aggregating point data to polygon geometries. These 
    methods are useful for applications such as insurance, urban analytics, 
    environmental exposure analysis, and other spatial point pattern workflows. 
    The underlying maximum covering problem is described by Church (1974) 
    <doi:10.1007/BF01942293>.

Provides robust estimation for spatial error model to presence of outliers in the residuals. The classical estimation methods can be influenced by the presence of outliers in the data. We proposed a robust estimation approach based on the robustified likelihood equations for spatial error model (Vural Yildirim & Yeliz Mert Kantar (2020): Robust estimation approach for spatial error model, Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, <doi:10.1080/00949655.2020.1740223>).

Functions and classes for spatial resampling to use with the
    'rsample' package, such as spatial cross-validation (Brenning, 2012)
    <doi:10.1109/IGARSS.2012.6352393>. The scope of 'rsample' and
    'spatialsample' is to provide the basic building blocks for creating
    and analyzing resamples of a spatial data set, but neither package
    includes functions for modeling or computing statistics. The resampled
    spatial data sets created by 'spatialsample' do not contain much
    overhead in memory.

Visualization and analysis  of Vectra Immunoflourescent
    data. Options for calculating both the univariate and bivariate Ripley's K
    are included. Calculations are performed using a permutation-based 
    approach presented by Wilson et al.  <doi:10.1101/2021.04.27.21256104>.

Tools for spatial data analysis.  Emphasis on kriging.  Provides functions for prediction and simulation.  Intended to be relatively straightforward, fast, and flexible.

Perform variable selection for the spatial Poisson regression model under the adaptive elastic net penalty. Spatial count data with covariates is the input. We use a spatial Poisson regression model to link the spatial counts and covariates. For maximization of the likelihood under adaptive elastic net penalty, we implemented the penalized quasi-likelihood (PQL) and the approximate penalized loglikelihood (APL) methods. The proposed methods can automatically select important covariates, while adjusting for possible spatial correlations among the responses. More details are available in Xie et al. (2018, <arXiv:1809.06418>). The package also contains the Lyme disease dataset, which consists of the disease case data from 2006 to 2011, and demographic data and land cover data in Virginia. The Lyme disease case data were collected by the Virginia Department of Health. The demographic data (e.g., population density, median income, and average age) are from the 2010 census. Land cover data were obtained from the Multi-Resolution Land Cover Consortium for 2006.
