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    Congress (SEA/SEW 2026, Paris), unpublished.
