abstract: Integrates spatial transcriptomics data with single-cell RNA sequencing
  (scRNA-seq) data to predict expression of unmeasured genes in spatial data. Uses
  Principal Vectors (PVs) for domain adaptation followed by k-nearest neighbor weighted
  imputation. This R implementation provides identical results to the original Python
  SpaGE package with efficient C++ acceleration.
