• In my first submission of this version, I got an email that it did not pass incoming checks automatically. The problem was with one of the vignette rebuilds on Windows, for which there was an error regarding the namespace load for a suggested package used in that vignette, tigris, with the note that there was no package called rgdal. Before submitting, I had checked on winbuilder (with release and development versions), and all checks passed. The section of the vignette that is related to this warning is a minor part of the vignette. Therefore, to prevent the error in CRAN's automated incoming checks, I have changed a small amount of code in that part of the vignette to not evaluate. With this change, the package can remove from "Suggests" several spatial R packages, including some that have caused CRAN error or warning issues over the past year for this package. Since this section of the vignette is tangential to the main functionality of this package, it was not critical to retain, and I hope that this change will allow this package to pass the CRAN automated checks and also help the package remain more stable---in terms of continuing to pass CRAN checks---by removing several spatial package dependencies that it seems are evolving somewhat quickly and so were requiring frequent revisions of this package to keep up based solely on a small example in one vignette. This change to the vignette fixes the CRAN warning for the previous version, which was based on an error in rebuilding this vignette. I have tested this version of the package on winbuilder (release and devel) and on rhub's windows-x86_64-devel platform, as well as on a local MacOS installation of R 4.0.2, and all passed without errors, warnings, or notes.
