Description: clustSIGNAL: clustering of Spatially Informed Gene
        expression with Neighbourhood Adapted Learning. A tool for
        adaptively smoothing and clustering gene expression data.
        clustSIGNAL uses entropy to measure heterogeneity of cell
        neighbourhoods and performs a weighted, adaptive smoothing,
        where homogeneous neighbourhoods are smoothed more and
        heterogeneous neighbourhoods are smoothed less. This not only
        overcomes data sparsity but also incorporates spatial context
        into the gene expression data. The resulting smoothed gene
        expression data is used for clustering and could be used for
        other downstream analyses.
