abstract: Implements the tree-spatial scan statistic for detecting clusters that combine
  both spatial and hierarchical structures, as proposed by Cancado et al. (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10651-025-00670-w>.
  The method extends Kulldorff (1997) <https://doi.org/10.1080/03610929708831995>
  circular spatial scan statistic and the tree-based scan statistic of Kulldorff et
  al. (2003) <https://doi.org/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.
