rectHull: Rectangular hull model

In rspatial/dismo: Species Distribution Modeling

Rectangular hull model

Description

The Rectangular Hull model predicts that a species is present at sites inside the minimum (rotated) bounding rectangle of a set of training points, and absent outside that rectangle.

Usage

rectHull(p, ...)

Arguments

p	point locations (presence). Two column matrix, data.frame or SpatialPoints* object
...	Additional arguments. See details

Details

You can supply an argument n (>= 1) to get n hulls around subset of the points. This uses k-means to form clusters. To reproduce the clusters you may need to use set.seed.

Value

An object of class 'RectangularHull' (inherits from DistModel-class)

points(train, col='red', pch=20, cex=2)
