		Spatial Distribution Dynamics // A tidy toolkit for distribution
		dynamics: analysing how a cross-sectional distribution of
		values evolves over time and where it settles in the long run.
		Provides discrete-time, spatial, rank and local indicator of
		spatial association ('LISA') Markov transition estimation,
		ergodic analysis (steady-state, mean first passage and sojourn
		times), rank-mobility measures (Kendall's tau and the Theta
		statistic) and Markov mobility indices. Methods use long-format
		'id'/'time'/'value' data rather than transition matrices and
		build on the distribution-dynamics literature (Quah (1993); Rey
		(2001) doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.2001.tb00444.x). Results are
		validated for numerical parity against the reference 'giddy'
		library.
