Description: Implements the area-based nonparametric spatial point
        pattern test of Andresen (2009)
        <doi:10.1016/j.apgeog.2008.12.004> for comparing two spatial
        distributions of events aggregated to areal units, with the
        applications and extensions reviewed in Andresen (2016)
        <doi:10.1177/2059799116630659>. Unit-level inference uses
        bounded Monte Carlo bootstrap p-values, with marginal
        confidence interval overlap retained as an option. Global
        similarity is summarised by the robust S index, accompanied by
        a test of whether two patterns are more different than two
        realisations of a single process, and a test of the spatial
        arrangement of the differences. A longitudinal extension
        compares each period of a time series against a base period and
        classifies unit-level trajectories. Publication-ready maps can
        be redrawn with user-chosen layouts.
