The aim of the spatial downscaling is to increase the spatial resolution of the gridded geospatial input data. This package contains two deep learning based spatial downscaling methods, super-resolution deep residual network (SRDRN) (Wang et al., 2021 <doi:10.1029/2020WR029308>) and UNet (Ronneberger et al., 2015 <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-24574-4_28>), along with a statistical baseline method bias correction and spatial disaggregation (Wood et al., 2004 <doi:10.1023/B:CLIM.0000013685.99609.9e>). The SRDRN and UNet methods are implemented to optionally account for cyclical temporal patterns in case of spatio-temporal data. For more details of the methods, see Sipilä et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.13753>.

Methods and data for cluster detection and disease mapping.

Tools for the statistical modelling of spatial extremes using max-stable processes, copula or Bayesian hierarchical models. More precisely, this package allows (conditional) simulations from various parametric max-stable models, analysis of the extremal spatial dependence, the fitting of such processes using composite likelihoods or least square (simple max-stable processes only), model checking and selection and prediction. Other approaches (although not completely in agreement with the extreme value theory) are available such as the use of (spatial) copula and Bayesian hierarchical models assuming the so-called conditional assumptions. The latter approaches is handled through an (efficient) Gibbs sampler. Some key references: Davison et al. (2012) <doi:10.1214/11-STS376>, Padoan et al.
