Description: Provides tools for the integration, visualisation, and
        modelling of spatial epidemiological data using the method
        described in Azeez, A., & Noel, C. (2025). 'Predictive
        Modelling and Spatial Distribution of Pancreatic Cancer in
        Africa Using Machine Learning-Based Spatial Model'
        <doi:10.5281/zenodo.16529986> and
        <doi:10.5281/zenodo.16529016>. It facilitates the analysis of
        geographic health data by combining modern spatial mapping
        tools with advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms.
        'mlspatial' enables users to import and pre-process shapefile
        and associated demographic or disease incidence data, generate
        richly annotated thematic maps, and apply predictive models,
        including Random Forest, 'XGBoost', and Support Vector
        Regression, to identify spatial patterns and risk factors. It
        is suited for spatial epidemiologists, public health
        researchers, and GIS analysts aiming to uncover hidden
        geographic patterns in health-related outcomes and inform
        evidence-based interventions.
