Description: Implements the tree-spatial scan statistic for detecting
        clusters that combine both spatial and hierarchical structures,
        as proposed by Cancado et al. (2025)
        <doi:10.1007/s10651-025-00670-w>. The method extends Kulldorff
        (1997) <doi:10.1080/03610929708831995> circular spatial scan
        statistic and the tree-based scan statistic of Kulldorff et al.
        (2003) <doi:10.1111/1541-0420.00039> by searching for anomalies
        in both geographic regions and branches of hierarchical trees
        simultaneously. The package also provides standalone
        implementations of Kulldorff's circular spatial scan statistic
        and the tree-based scan statistic. Statistical significance is
        assessed via Monte Carlo simulation under a Poisson or binomial
        model, with optional 'OpenMP' parallelization.
