Provides functions and methods for: splitting large raster objects
             into smaller chunks, transferring images from a binary format into raster 
             layers, transferring raster layers into an 'RData' file, calculating the 
             maximum gap (amount of consecutive missing values) of a numeric vector, 
             and fitting harmonic regression models to periodic time series. The homoscedastic
             harmonic regression model is based on G. Roerink, M. Menenti and W. Verhoef (2000) <doi:10.1080/014311600209814>.

Simulation, estimation and testing for geopolitical volatility (GEOVOL) based on the global common volatility model of Engle and Campos-Martins (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2022.09.009>. GEOVOL is modelled as a latent multiplicative volatility factor with heterogeneous factor loadings. Estimation is carried out as a maximization-maximization procedure, where GEOVOL and the GEOVOL loadings are estimated iteratively until convergence.

Contains the development of a tool that provides a web-based
    graphical user interface (GUI) to perform Techniques from a subset of
    spatial statistics known as geographically weighted (GW) models.
    Contains methods described by Brunsdon et al., 1996

Geometric objects defined in 'geozoo' can be simulated or displayed in the R package 'tourr'.

Implements key features of 'Gephi' for network visualization, including 'ForceAtlas2' (with LinLog mode), network scaling, and network rotations. It also includes easy network visualization tools such as edge and node color assignment for recreating 'Gephi'-style graphs in R. The package references layout algorithms developed by Jacomy, M., Venturini T., Heymann S., and Bastian M. (2014) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0098679> and Noack, A. (2009) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.0807.4052>.
