ecospat.mpa: Minimal Predicted Area

Description

Calculate the minimal predicted area.

Usage

ecospat.mpa (Pred, Sp.occ.xy, perc)

Value

Returns the minimal predicted area.

Arguments

Pred

Numeric or, SpatRaster predicted suitabilities from a SDM prediction.

Sp.occ.xy

xy-coordinates of the species (if Pred is a RasterLayer or a SpatRaster).

perc

Percentage of Sp.occ.xy that should be encompassed by the binary map.

Details

The minimal predicted area (MPA) is the minimal surface obtained by considering all pixels with predictions above a defined probability threshold (e.g. 0.7) that still encompasses 90 percent of the species` occurrences (Engler et al. 2004).

Examples

Run this code
data(ecospat.testData)
obs <- (ecospat.testData$glm_Saxifraga_oppositifolia
[which(ecospat.testData$Saxifraga_oppositifolia==1)])

ecospat.mpa(obs)
ecospat.mpa(obs,perc=1) ## 100 percent of the presences encompassed
