In cjcarlson/spatExtinct: A Package for Spatial Interpolation of Extinction Dates from Sighting Data

#' @title Spatial Interpolation of Extinction Dates from Sighting Data
#'
#'
#'
#' @description The spatExtinct package is a tool for spatially-interpolated extinction estimators. The purpose of the package is twofold: to assign likely extinction dates across a landscape, and to identify potential areas of persistence for species of conservation concern with unknown extinction status.
