uci() now accepts columns with NA values.
In such cases, NAs are replaced with zero as they represent
zero activities.spdep::poly2nb(geo, queen=TRUE)) to determine neighboring
polygons whe considering spatial link distances.Major changes
uci function now has a new parameter
dist_type that allows users to choose whether calculations
should be based on "euclidean" distances (Default) or
"spatial_link" distances. Spatial link distances consider
Euclidean distances along the links of spatial neighbour links. In the
case of areas with a concave shape (like a bay), it is strongly
recommended to use "spatial_link" distances (even though
they are computationally more costly) because simple Euclidean distances
can bias UCI estimates in those cases.uci function now has a new parameter
parallel that speeds up calculations for large areas
comprised with many polygons.Minor changes
