MaxEnt: Model module: MaxEnt

In zoonproject/modules: Species Distribution Modelling Code Modules for the ZOON Package

Description

Model module to fit MaxEnt model via the dismo package

Usage

MaxEnt(.df, args = "")

Arguments

.df

Internal parameter, do not use in the workflow function. .df is data frame that combines the occurrence data and covariate data. .df is passed automatically in workflow from the process module(s) to the model module(s) and should not be passed by the user.

args

Additional arguments to pass to MaxEnt to modify model fitting, in the form of flags to the java executable. Unfortunately these are a bit cryptic and the maxent help files, which list all of the options, aren't available on the web. You could try the MaxEnt graphical user interface, otherwise there is a list (which may or may not be up-to-date) in this forum: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/maxent/yRBlvZ1_9rQ/Fj8Two0lmHIJ.

Details

In order to fit a MaxEnt model, you must first download the MaxEnt executable file maxent.jar and save it in the correct location. The zoon function GetMaxEnt can orchestrate this for you. Running MaxEnt also requires an up-to-date version of java (which you may already have installed).
