abstract: Fits spatial mixture models, including spatial Gaussian mixtures and mixtures
  of spatial factor analyzers, to complete or incomplete data. Spatial decay can be
  represented by monotone I-splines or a normalized sigmoid. Missing entries are handled
  using a built-in partial expectation-maximization procedure for matrix-variate data.
  The spatial covariance and spatial factor analyzer models are described in Lu and
  colleagues (2026a) "Spatial Covariance Constraints for Gaussian Mixture Models"
  <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2601.07979> and Lu and colleagues (2026b) "Mixtures
  of spatial factor analyzers for tensor-variate data" <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2607.07887>.
