 The `run()` method can be customized using keyword arguments to select different solvers, random seed, data return type and more.  For more detailed examples on how to use SpatialPy, please see the Jupyter notebooks contained in the [examples](https://github.com/StochSS/SpatialPy/tree/main/examples) subdirectory.
