There seems to never have been a `spenc` example notebook added here.

In the *References* section of the `spopt` doc site, when a reference occupies a single line the subsequent reference is indented. This leads to a cascading effect that is only...

Assigning decision variables different named labels should not alter the results of an optimization problem, but this seems to be happening. For example, tests fail when the client decision variable...

`libpysal/weights/raster.py` missing test coverage

Future of `THANKS.txt`
