Build custom Europe SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, if you don't know what is
    a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame see SpatialPolygons() in 'sp', by example for mapLayout() in 'antaresViz'. 
    Antares is a powerful software developed by RTE to simulate and study electric power systems 
    (more information about 'Antares' here: <https://antares-simulator.org/>).

A set of functions is provided for 1) the stratum lengths analysis along a chosen direction, 2) fast estimation of continuous lag spatial Markov chains model parameters and probability computing (also for large data sets), 3) transition probability maps and transiograms drawing, 4) simulation methods for categorical random fields. More details on the methodology are discussed in Sartore (2013) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2013-022> and Sartore et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2016.06.001>.

Implements the method of general semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation for logistic models in case-mother control-mother designs.

Fit, summarize, and predict for a variety of spatial statistical models applied to point-referenced and areal (lattice) data. Parameters are estimated using various methods. Additional modeling features include anisotropy, non-spatial random effects, partition factors, big data approaches, and more. Model-fit statistics are used to summarize, visualize, and compare models. Predictions at unobserved locations are readily obtainable. For additional details, see Dumelle et al. (2023) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0282524>.

Functions for estimating spatial varying coefficient models, mixed models, and other spatial regression models for Gaussian and non-Gaussian data. Moran eigenvectors are used to an approximate spatial Gaussian processes. These processes are used for modeling the spatial processes in residuals and regression coefficients. For details see Murakami (2021) <arXiv:1703.04467>.

Identify statistically significant flow clusters using the local spatial network autocorrelation statistic G_ij* 
    proposed by 'Berglund' and 'Karlström' (1999) <doi:10.1007/s101090050013>. 
    The metric, an extended statistic of 'Getis/Ord' G ('Getis' and 'Ord' 1992) <doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1992.tb00261.x>, 
    detects a group of flows having similar traits in terms of directionality. 
    You provide OD data and the associated polygon to get results 
    with several parameters, some of which are defined by spdep package.
