spopt: Spatial Optimization for Regionalization, Facility Location, and Market Analysis

Description

Implements spatial optimization algorithms across several problem families: contiguity-constrained regionalization, discrete facility location, market share analysis, and least-cost corridor and route optimization over raster cost surfaces. Facility location problems also accept user-supplied network travel-time matrices. Uses a 'Rust' backend via 'extendr' for graph and routing algorithms, and the 'HiGHS' solver via the 'highs' package for facility location mixed-integer programs. Method-level references are provided in the documentation of the individual functions.
