Package: ArchipelagoEngine Title: Spatial Weight Construction for Archipelagic Geographies Version: 0.1.1 Authors@R: person("NJ", "Talingting", email = "ninotalingting77@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = "0009-0003-7245-874X")) Description: Implements specialized K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) logic to address the unique challenges of spatial modeling in archipelagic environments. Standard contiguity models often leave significant portions of island nations (e.g., 20% of the Philippines) mathematically isolated. This package provides tools to ensure 100% network connectivity, neutralizing spatial bias and enabling robust econometric inference. Methodology follows Anselin (1988, ISBN:9024737354) and LeSage and Pace (2009) .
