tinyVAST: Multivariate Spatio-Temporal Models using Structural Equations

Fits a wide variety of multivariate spatio-temporal models with simultaneous and lagged interactions among variables (including vector autoregressive spatio-temporal ('VAST') dynamics) for areal, continuous, or network spatial domains. It includes time-variable, space-variable, and space-time-variable interactions using dynamic structural equation models ('DSEM') as expressive interface, and the 'mgcv' package to specify splines via the formula interface. See Thorson et al. (2025) <doi:10.1111/geb.70035> for more details.
