Methods and tools for the analysis of Genome Wide 
    Identity-by-Descent ('gwid') mapping data, focusing on testing whether there 
    is a higher occurrence of Identity-By-Descent (IBD) segments around potential causal variants 
    in cases compared to controls, which is crucial for identifying rare 
    variants. To enhance its analytical power, 'gwid' incorporates a Sliding 
    Window Approach, allowing for the detection and analysis of signals from 
    multiple Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs).

Re-implementation of the 'gWidgets' API. The API is defined in this
    package. A second, toolkit-specific package is required to use it. At this point only 'gWidgets2tcltk' is viable.

Port of the 'gWidgets2' API for the 'tcltk' package.

Performs geographically weighted Lasso regressions. Find optimal bandwidth, fit a geographically weighted lasso or ridge regression, and make predictions.
    These methods are specially well suited for ecological inferences. Bandwidth selection algorithm is from A. Comber and P. Harris (2018) <doi:10.1007/s10109-018-0280-7>.

Fit a geographically weighted logistic elastic net regression. Detailed explanations can be found in Yoneoka et al. (2016): New algorithm for constructing area-based index with geographical heterogeneities and variable selection: An application to gastric cancer screening <doi:10.1038/srep26582>.

Techniques from a particular branch of spatial statistics,termed geographically-weighted (GW) models. GW models suit situations when data are not described well by some global model, but where there are spatial regions where a suitably localised calibration provides a better description. 'GWmodel' includes functions to calibrate: GW summary statistics (Brunsdon et al., 2002)<doi: 10.1016/s0198-9715(01)00009-6>, GW principal components analysis (Harris et al., 2011)<doi: 10.1080/13658816.2011.554838>, GW discriminant analysis (Brunsdon et al., 2007)<doi: 10.1111/j.1538-4632.2007.00709.x> and various forms of GW regression (Brunsdon et al., 1996)<doi: 10.1111/j.1538-4632.1996.tb00936.x>; some of which are provided in basic and robust (outlier resistant) forms.
