hypervolume (version 3.1.4)

hypervolume_project: Geographical projection of hypervolume for species distribution modeling, using the hypervolume as the environmental niche model.

Description

Determines a suitability score by calculating the hypervolume value at each of a set of points in an input raster stack based on either a probability density estimation or inclusion test.

Note that projected values are not normalized and are not necessarily constrained to fall between 0 and 1.

Note also that additional arguments can be passed to this function to enable parallel operation (see ... below).

Usage

hypervolume_project(hv, rasters, type = "probability", verbose = TRUE,
                 ...)

Value

A raster object of same resolution and extent as the input layers corresponding to suitability values.

Arguments

hv

An input hypervolume

rasters

A RasterStack with the same names as the dimension names of the hypervolume.

type

If 'probability', suitability scores correspond to probability density values estimated using hypervolume_estimate_probability; if 'inclusion', scores correspond to binary presence/absence values from calling hypervolume_inclusion_test.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to either hypervolume_estimate_probability or hypervolume_inclusion_test.

verbose

If TRUE, prints diagnostic and progress output.
