Description: Geographical detectors for measuring spatial stratified
        heterogeneity, as described in Jinfeng Wang (2010)
        <doi:10.1080/13658810802443457> and Jinfeng Wang (2016)
        <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2016.02.052>. Includes the optimal
        discretization of continuous data, four primary functions of
        geographical detectors, comparison of size effects of spatial
        unit and the visualizations of results. To use the package and
        to refer the descriptions of the package, methods and case
        datasets, please cite Yongze Song (2020)
        <doi:10.1080/15481603.2020.1760434>. The model has been applied
        in factor exploration of road performance and multi-scale
        spatial segmentation for network data, as described in Yongze
        Song (2018) <doi:10.3390/rs10111696> and Yongze Song (2020)
        <doi:10.1109/TITS.2020.3001193>, respectively.
