  <dc:title>Bayesian Spatial Functional Clustering</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package sfclust version 1.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Bayesian clustering of spatial regions with similar functional shapes using
    spanning trees and latent Gaussian models. The method enforces spatial contiguity
    within clusters and supports a wide range of latent Gaussian models, including
    non-Gaussian likelihoods, via the R-INLA framework. The algorithm is based on Zhong,
    R., Chacón-Montalván, E. A., and Moraga, P. (2026) &lt;doi:10.1002/sim.70597&gt;,
    extending the approach of Zhang, B., Sang, H., Luo, Z. T., and Huang, H. (2023)
    &lt;doi:10.1214/22-AOAS1643&gt;. The package includes tools for model fitting, convergence
    diagnostics, visualization, and summarization of clustering results.</dc:description>
