How to find a set of variables that are relevant for predicting a species’ distribution? To identify the set of most important variables that are not auto-correlated can be very tedious. My new R package ‘MaxentVariableSelection’ automatizes the process for Niche modelling with the program Maxent.

The process was inspired by Warren et al. (2014).

Download

The package is available on CRAN (link) and on GitHub (clone url).

To install and load the package from CRAN, type:

install.packages("MaxentVariableSelection")
library(MaxentVariableSelection)
#end_src

To install and load the package from GitHub, type:

#+begin_src R
install.packages("devtools") 
devtools::install_github("alj1983/MaxentVariableSelection")
library(MaxentVariableSelection)

How to use it?

The usage of this package is in detail described in the vignette that accompanies this package.
