Description: Flexible nonlinear extension of spatial autoregressive
        (SAR), spatial error (SEM), and spatial autoregressive with
        autoregressive disturbances (SARAR) models with multiple
        regression engines (generalized additive models ('mgcv'),
        gradient boosting ('mboost'), multivariate adaptive regression
        splines ('earth'), and 'xgboost') and two families of
        spatial-parameter estimators: maximum likelihood and the
        determinant-free Closed-Form Estimator of Smirnov (2020)
        <doi:10.1111/gean.12268>. See Geniaux G. (2026). "Flexible
        nonlinear spatial autoregressive models: a gradient boosting
        approach with closed-form estimation." Presented at Spatial
        Econometrics World Congress (SEA/SEW 2026, Paris), unpublished.
