abstract: SpNeigh provides methods for neighborhood-aware analysis of spatial transcriptomics
  data. It supports boundary detection, spatial weighting (centroid- and boundary-based),
  spatially informed differential expression using spline-based models, and spatial
  enrichment analysis via the Spatial Enrichment Index (SEI). Designed for compatibility
  with Seurat objects, SpatialExperiment objects and spatial data frames, SpNeigh
  enables interpretable, publication-ready analysis of spatial gene expression patterns.
