SpatialInference: Tools for Statistical Inference with Geo-Coded Data
Fast computation of Conley (1999) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(98)00084-0>
spatial heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) standard
errors for linear regression models with geo-coded data, with a fast C++
implementation by Christensen, Hartman, and Samii (2021)
<doi:10.1017/S0020818321000187>. Performance-critical distance calculations,
kernel weighting, and variance component accumulation are implemented in C++
via 'Rcpp' and 'RcppArmadillo'. Includes tools for estimating the spatial
correlation range from covariograms and correlograms following the bandwidth
selection method proposed in Lehner (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.03997>,
and diagnostic visualizations for bandwidth selection.
