Changes in version 0.3-0                        

Resubmission to CRAN after the package was archived on 2025-11-28.

CRAN compliance

  - DESCRIPTION: added the Authors@R field, as now required by CRAN.
  - Documentation: added package anchors to all Rd \link{} targets
    pointing to other packages, e.g. \link[pscl]{zeroinfl} (fixes the
    CRAN check NOTE/WARNING "Rd \link{} targets missing package
    anchors").
  - Data: GR.Municipalities.RData and VotesGR.RData are now saved with
    xz compression (removes the "significantly better compression" check
    WARNING and reduces the source tarball by about 0.9 Mb).
  - DESCRIPTION: relaxed the R dependency to R (>= 3.5.0); the package
    uses no features specific to more recent R versions (the data files
    require the serialization format of R >= 3.5.0).

Documentation and vignettes

  - Corrected spelling mistakes in the help pages (string, using,
    excludes, separate, respectively) and removed a mismatched reference
    URL in lcorrel.Rd.
  - Vignettes are now built as HTML (rmarkdown::html_vignette) instead
    of PDF, removing the LaTeX build requirement and reducing package
    size.
  - Vignettes: removed an obsolete reference to the retired 'rgdal'
    package, fixed typos, function-name casing (moransI, moransI.w) and
    an outdated thesis URL.

Code and tests

  - random.test.data(): replaced 1:vars.no-1 with seq_len(vars.no - 1)
    in the covariate loop. The old code relied on a silent no-op for the
    zero index; behaviour is unchanged.
  - Removed a leftover roxygen stub comment block from R/lat2w.R.
  - Added a testthat suite (26 assertions) covering lat2w, w.matrix,
    moransI, moransI.w, spGini, spGini.w and random.test.data, including
    the consistency of the two Moran's I implementations and the
    additivity of the spatial Gini decomposition.
