• Supports flexible and circular scan statistics, original and restricted likelihood ratio statistics, and hot-, cold-, and both-type cluster scanning.
• Returns candidate clusters, relative difference criterion (RDC) values, selected number of clusters, and Monte Carlo p-values for the overall test and individual clusters.
• Added S3 methods print(), summary(), and plot() for multiflexscan objects.
• Added choropleth() to map selected clusters on an sf object.
• Parallel Monte Carlo replications via foreach and doSNOW.
