		Projected Actor Locations for Spatial Interaction Modeling //
		Implements the Projected Actor Locations (PALS) method for
		spatial modeling of dyadic interactions between geographically
		mobile actors, as described in Kim, Liu and Desmarais (2023)
		doi:10.1017/psrm.2022.6. PALS applies exponential-smoothing
		weights to the spatiotemporal histories of a focal actor and
		its interaction partners ("alters") to project the location of
		future interactions. The package provides projection, maximum-
		similarity parameter estimation by minimizing great-circle
		(Haversine) prediction error, nonparametric bootstrap with
		multiple-imputation (Rubin's Rules) pooling, dyadic distance
		covariate construction, visualization, and a simulated example
		dataset of subnational conflict.
