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
