title: 'palsr: Projected Actor Locations for Spatial Interaction Modeling'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.1017/psrm.2022.6
abstract: Implements the Projected Actor Locations (PALS) method for spatial modeling
  of dyadic interactions between geographically mobile actors, as described in Kim,
  Liu and Desmarais (2023) <https://doi.org/10.1017/psrm.2022.6>. PALS applies exponential-smoothing
  weights to the spatiotemporal histories of a focal actor and its interaction partners
  ("alters") to project the location of future interactions. The package provides
  projection, maximum-similarity parameter estimation by minimizing great-circle (Haversine)
  prediction error, nonparametric bootstrap with multiple-imputation (Rubin's Rules)
  pooling, dyadic distance covariate construction, visualization, and a simulated
  example dataset of subnational conflict.
