The spopt R package provides R-native implementations of spatial optimization algorithms for regionalization, facility location, and market analysis. Inspired by Python's PySAL spopt, the package brings these powerful algorithms to R users with an sf-first API and a Rust backend for performance.
Install from r-universe:
install.packages("spopt", repos = "https://walkerke.r-universe.dev")For developers who need to build from source (requires Rust), see CONTRIBUTING.md.
