This function provides evaluation scores of the full model (no split sampling) and thresholds which can be used to convert suitability maps into binary maps. Various thresholds are provided: TSS (where sensitivity and specificity are maximised), MPA 1.0 (where all presences are prdicted positive), MPA 0.95 (where 95% of all presences are predicted positive), MPA 0.90 (where 90% of all presences are predicted positive), Boyce.th.min (the lowest suitability value where the predicted/expected ratio is >1) and Boyce.th.max (the highest suitability value where the predicted/expected ratio is =1).
