The Flexible Spatial Scan Statistic

Provides functions for detecting spatial clusters using the flexible spatial scan statistic developed by Tango and Takahashi (2005) . This package implements a wrapper for the 'C' routine used in the 'FleXScan' 3.1.2 < https://sites.google.com/site/flexscansoftware/home> developed by Takahashi, Yokoyama, and Tango. For details, see Otani et al. (2021) .
