circleHull: Circle hull model

Description

The Circle hull model predicts that a species is present at sites inside the smallest circle that can contain a set of training points, and absent outside that circle.

Usage

circleHull(p, ...)

Value

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

Arguments

p

point locations (presence). Two column matrix, data.frame or SpatialPoints* object

...

Additional arguments. See details
