#' @description 
#' Spatio-temporal data have become increasingly popular in many research fields. 
#' Such data often have complex structures that are difficult to describe and 
#' estimate. This package provides reliable tools for modeling complicated 
#' spatio-temporal data. It also includes tools of online process monitoring to 
#' detect possible change-points in a spatio-temporal process over time. More 
#' specifically, it implements the nonparametric spatio-temporal data modeling 
#' methods described in Yang and Qiu (2018, 2019, and 2022), as well as the 
#' online spatio-temporal process monitoring methods discussed in
#' Qiu and Yang (2021 and 2023) and Yang and Qiu (2020).
