New features

The uci function now has a new parameter dist_type that allows users to choose whether calculations should be based on "euclidean" distances (Default) or "spatial_link" distances. Spatial link distances consider Euclidean distances along the links of spatial neighbour links. In the case of areas with a concave shape (like a bay), it is strongly recommended to use "spatial_link" distances (even though they are computationally more costly) because simple Euclidean distances can bias UCI estimates in those cases.
The uci function now has a new parameter parallel that speeds up calculations for large areas comprised with many polygons.
