`data_as_directories`	logical. `TRUE` if data and shapefiles must be loaded from files. `FALSE` if data and shapefiles are `R` objects already loaded in the environment.
`data`	`data.frame` if data is in environement, or character string specifying location of xlsx data with directory if `data_as_directories = TRUE`
`shp_reg_directory`	character string specifying directory of shapefile outlining the area of `data` to be used for the regression. `NULL` if `data_as_directories = FALSE`
`shp_reg_layer`	character string specifying layer (.shp) filename corresponding to `shp_reg_directory`, or spatial polygon object if `data_as_directories = FALSE`
`shp_app_directory`	character string specifying directory of shapefile outlining the area of `data` to which the final simulation will be applied, if different from `shp_reg`. `NULL` if `data_as_directories = FALSE`
`shp_app_layer`	character string specifying layer (.shp) filename corresponding to `shp_app_directory`, or spatial polygon object if `data_as_directories = FALSE`
`convertFromUTM`	logical. Set to `TRUE` if you are subsetting your data with shapefile(s) and your shapefile(s) are in UTM coordinates instead of lon/lat.
`dat_sample`	numerical. If specified, will take a sample of `n` observations for the regression (suggested if `shp_reg` has lots of observations)
`landcover_varname`	character string specifying the landcover variable from `data`
`reg_formula`	regression formula to be used, as in `lm()`, with columns from `data` (e.g. `c ~ a + b`)
`landcover_invasive`	value. Numerical or character value of the invasive landcover.
`landcover_susceptible`	value. Numerical or character value(s) of the susceptible landcover(s). If more than one susceptible landcover, provide a vector `c()`.
`x_coords_varname`	character string. Name of the x-coordinate variable in `data`.
`y_coords_varname`	character string. Name of the y-coordinate variable in `data`.
`spread_rate`	numerical. Value between 0 and 1 indicating the annual spread rate of the invading landcover.
`birdcell`	numerical. Value between 0 and 1 indicating the probability a random cell can be invaded, regardless of adjacency to existing invaded pixels.
`simlength`	integer. Number of years the simulation should run.
`simulation_count`	integer. Length of simulation bootstrap.
`dep_var_modifier`	numerical. A scalar to optionally return a list of rasters with modified dep_var rasters (e.g. multiply water yield rasters to obtain recharge rasters)
`covar_adjustment`	list. List specifying change in covariate values. See ?gls_spatial_predict.
`num_cores`	numerical. Number of cores for parallel processing, max 5
