In hSDM: Hierarchical Bayesian Species Distribution Models

Neighborhood data (from Latimer et al. 2006)

Description

Data come from a small region including 476 one minute by one minute grid cells. This region is is a small corner of South Africa's Cape Floristic Region, and includes very high plant species diversity and a World Biosphere Reserve. The data frame can be used as an example for several functions in the hSDM package.

Format

neighbors.Latimer2006 is a vector of 3542 integers indicating the neighbors (adjacent cells) of each spatial cell. The vector is of the form c(neighbors of cell 1, neighbors of cell 2, ... , neighbors of the last cell).
