evalplot.density: Plot Density Plots of variables

In ENMeval: Automated Tuning and Evaluations of Ecological Niche Models

Plot Density Plots of variables

Description

This function plots densities of a given environmental variable based on a maxent.jar or maxnet model.

Usage

evalplot.density(data, envs = NULL, var, bw.envs = 10)

Arguments

data	Data frame of training data (occurrences + background).
envs	Raster data (SpatRaster) of environmental variables for model projection. If 'NULL' (default), only the training-data density is plotted, with no transfer-environment comparison.
var	A character string specifying the variable name for the response curve.
bw.envs	The smoothing bandwidth to be used in the environmental variables

Value

A ggplot object of the response curve.
