		Spatially Variable Genes Detection Methods for Spatial
		Transcriptomics // A unified framework for detecting spatially
		variable genes (SVGs) in spatial transcriptomics data. This
		package integrates multiple state-of-the-art SVG detection
		methods including 'MERINGUE' (Moran's I based spatial
		autocorrelation), 'Giotto' binSpect (binary spatial enrichment
		test), 'SPARK-X' (non-parametric kernel-based test), and
		'nnSVG' (nearest-neighbor Gaussian processes). Each method is
		implemented with optimized performance through vectorization,
		parallelization, and 'C++' acceleration where applicable.
		Methods are described in Miller et al. (2021)
