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.
