Package: BSTFA
Title: Bayesian Spatio-Temporal Factor Analysis Model
Description: Implements Bayesian spatio-temporal factor analysis models
        for multivariate data observed across space and time. The
        package provides tools for model fitting via Markov chain Monte
        Carlo (MCMC), spatial and temporal interpolation, and
        visualization of latent factors and loadings to support
        inference and exploration of underlying spatio-temporal
        patterns. Designed for use in environmental, ecological, or
        public health applications, with support for posterior
        prediction and uncertainty quantification. Includes functions
        such as BSTFA() for model fitting and plot_factor() to
        visualize the latent processes.  Functions are based on and
        extended from methods described in Berrett, et al. (2020)
        <doi:10.1002/env.2609>.
