Description: 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.
