sfclust: Bayesian Spatial Functional Clustering
Bayesian clustering of spatial regions with similar functional shapes using spanning trees and latent Gaussian models. The method enforces spatial contiguity within clusters and supports a wide range of latent Gaussian models, including non-Gaussian likelihoods, via the R-INLA framework. The algorithm is based on Zhong, R., Chacón-Montalván, E. A., and Moraga, P. (2026) <doi:10.1002/sim.70597>, extending the approach of Zhang, B., Sang, H., Luo, Z. T., and Huang, H. (2023) <doi:10.1214/22-AOAS1643>. The package includes tools for model fitting, convergence diagnostics, visualization, and summarization of clustering results.
