  <dc:title>Bayesian Predictive Stacking for Scalable Geospatial Transfer
Learning</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package spBPS version 2.0-1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides functions for Bayesian Predictive Stacking within the Bayesian transfer learning framework for geospatial artificial systems, as introduced in "Bayesian Transfer Learning for Artificially Intelligent Geospatial Systems: A Predictive Stacking Approach" (Presicce and Banerjee, 2025) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.09504&gt;. This methodology enables efficient Bayesian geostatistical modeling, utilizing predictive stacking to improve inference across spatial datasets. The core functions leverage 'C++' for high-performance computation, making the framework well-suited for large-scale spatial data analysis in parallel and distributed computing environments. Designed for scalability, it allows seamless application in computationally demanding scenarios.</dc:description>
