  <dc:title>Spatio-Temporal Disaggregation for Maps with Changing Areal
Boundaries</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package DAST version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Tools for spatio-temporal disaggregation of areal data across multiple 
    time points, including support for changing polygon boundaries. Implements 
    methods for spatially aggregated log-Gaussian Cox process models with 
    changing areal boundaries as described in Ripstein, Brown and Stafford 
    (2026) "Spatio-Temporal Disaggregation with Changing Areal Boundaries" 
    &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.25074&gt;. Combines polygon-level 
    observations, population rasters and optional covariate rasters to infer fine-scale 
    spatial fields over time. Models can be efficiently fit using 'TMB' (Template Model 
    Builder) and adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature for fast approximate inference
    or via 'tmbstan' for MCMC.</dc:description>
