🚀 Welcome to the spEDM Discussion Space!

[SpatLyu]

Hi everyone — welcome to the official discussion board for spEDM! 🎉

spEDM (Spatial Empirical Dynamic Modeling) is an open-source R package for causal discovery and nonlinear dynamic analysis in spatial cross-sectional data. It integrates Empirical Dynamic Modeling (EDM) with a spatial perspective, enabling researchers to uncover dynamic interactions, causal structures, and nonlinear dependencies across space.
