abstract: Implements the Beta Kernel Process (BKP) for nonparametric modeling of spatially
  varying binomial probabilities, together with its extension, the Dirichlet Kernel
  Process (DKP), for categorical or multinomial data. The package provides functions
  for model fitting, predictive inference with uncertainty quantification, posterior
  simulation, and visualization in one-and two-dimensional input spaces. Multiple
  kernel functions (Gaussian, Matern 5/2, and Matern 3/2) are supported, with hyperparameters
  optimized through multi-start gradient-based search. For more details, see Zhao,
  Qing, and Xu (2025) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2508.10447>.
