A general spatiotemporal satellite image imputation method based on sparse functional data analytic techniques. The imputation method applies and extends the Functional Principal Analysis by Conditional Estimation (PACE). The underlying idea for the proposed procedure is to impute a missing pixel by borrowing information from temporally and spatially contiguous pixels based on the best linear unbiased prediction.

A collection of statistical hypothesis tests of functional time series. While it will include more tests when the related literature are enriched, this package contains the following key tests: functional stationarity test, functional trend stationarity test, functional unit root test, to name a few.

A framework for specifying spatially, temporally and spatially-and-temporally varying coefficient models using Generalized Additive Models with smooths. The smooths are parameterised with location, time and predictor variables. The framework supports the investigation of the presence and nature of any space-time dependencies in the data by evaluating multiple model forms (specifications) using a Generalized Cross-Validation score. The workflow sequence is to: i) Prepare the data by lengthening it to have a single location and time variables for each observation. ii) Evaluate all possible spatial and/or temporal models in which each predictor is specified in different ways. iii) Evaluate each model and pick the best one. iv) Create the final model. v) Calculate the varying coefficient estimates to quantify how the relationships between the target and predictor variables vary over space, time or space-time. vi) Create maps, time series plots etc. For more details see: Comber et al (2023) <doi:10.4230/LIPIcs.GIScience.2023.22>, Comber et al (2024) <doi:10.1080/13658816.2023.2270285>  and Comber et al (2004) <doi:10.3390/ijgi13120459>.

In base R, object attributes are lost when objects are modified by
    common data operations such as subset, filter, slice, append, extract
    etc. This packages allows objects to be marked as 'sticky' and have
    attributes persisted during these operations or when inserted
    into or extracted from list-like or table-like objects.
