itsdm: Isolation Forest-Based Presence-Only Species Distribution Modeling

Collection of R functions to do purely presence-only species distribution modeling with isolation forest (iForest) and its variations such as Extended isolation forest and SCiForest. See the details of these methods in references: Liu, F.T., Ting, K.M. and Zhou, Z.H. (2008) <doi:10.1109/ICDM.2008.17>, Hariri, S., Kind, M.C. and Brunner, R.J. (2019) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2019.2947676>, Liu, F.T., Ting, K.M. and Zhou, Z.H. (2010) <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-15883-4_18>, Guha, S., Mishra, N., Roy, G. and Schrijvers, O. (2016) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v48/guha16.html>, Cortes, D. (2021) <arXiv:2110.13402>. Additionally, Shapley values are used to explain model inputs and outputs.

(2014) <doi:10.1007/s10115-013-0679-x>. itsdm also provides functions to diagnose variable response, analyze variable importance, draw spatial dependence of variables and examine variable contribution. As utilities, the package includes a few functions to download bioclimatic variables including 'WorldClim' version 2.0 (see Fick, S.E. and Hijmans, R.J. (2017) <doi:10.1002/joc.5086>) and 'CMCC-BioClimInd' (see Noce, S., Caporaso, L. and Santini, M. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41597-020-00726-5>.
