ENMeval - Automated Tuning and Evaluations of Ecological Niche Models
Runs ecological niche models over all combinations of
user-defined settings (i.e., tuning), performs cross validation
to evaluate models, and returns data tables to aid in selection
of optimal model settings that balance goodness-of-fit and
model complexity. Also has functions to partition data
spatially (or not) for cross validation, to plot multiple
visualizations of results, to run null models to estimate
significance and effect sizes of performance metrics, and to
calculate niche overlap between model predictions, among
others. The package was originally built for Maxent models
(Phillips et al. 2006, Phillips et al. 2017), but the current
version allows possible extensions for any modeling algorithm.
The extensive vignette, which guides users through most package
functionality but unfortunately has a file size too big for
CRAN, can be found here on the package's Github Pages website:
