Selection of spatially balanced samples. In particular, the implemented sampling designs allow to select probability samples well spread over the population of interest, in any dimension and using any distance function (e.g. Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance). For more details, Benedetti R and Piersimoni F (2017) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201600194> and Benedetti R and Piersimoni F (2017) <arXiv:1710.09116>. The implementation has been done in C++ through the use of 'Rcpp' and 'RcppArmadillo'.

Performs non-parametric tests of parametric specifications.
Five tests are available.
Specific bandwidth and kernel methods can be chosen along with many other options.
Allows parallel computing to quickly compute p-values based on the bootstrap.
