<code>classify_grid_rural()</code> has been renamed to <code>DoU_classify_grid_rural()</code> to create a more consistent API and to better indicate that this function is specifically designed to classify rural cells in the context of the DEGURBA classification.

Enables the construction of flexible urban delineations that
can be tailored to specific applications or research questions, see Van
Migerode et al. (2024) <DOI:10.1177/23998083241262545> and Van Migerode
et al. (2025) <DOI:10.5281/zenodo.15173220>.
Originally developed to flexibly reconstruct the Degree of
Urbanisation classification of cities,
towns and rural areas developed by Dijkstra et al.
(2021) <DOI:10.1016/j.jue.2020.103312>. Now it also support a broader
range of delineation approaches, using multiple datasets – including
population, built-up area, and night-time light grids – and different
thresholding methods.
