Description: Supporting functionality to run 'caret' with spatial or
        spatial-temporal data. 'caret' is a frequently used package for
        model training and prediction using machine learning. CAST
        includes functions to improve spatial or spatial-temporal
        modelling tasks using 'caret'. It includes the newly suggested
        'Nearest neighbor distance matching' cross-validation to
        estimate the performance of spatial prediction models and
        allows for spatial variable selection to selects suitable
        predictor variables in view to their contribution to the
        spatial model performance. CAST further includes functionality
        to estimate the (spatial) area of applicability of prediction
        models. Methods are described in Meyer et al. (2018)
