initValues

This function is used to obtain initial values by running a separate linear model on each sub-likelihood of the model to find maximum likelihood estimates, and averaging the estimates across all likelihoods.

Integration of disparate datasets is needed in order to make efficient use of all available data and thereby address the issues currently threatening biodiversity.
Data integration is a powerful modeling framework which allows us to combine these datasets together into a single model, yet retain the strengths of each individual dataset.
We therefore introduce the package, 'intSDM': an R package designed to help ecologists develop a reproducible workflow of integrated species distribution models, using data both provided from the user as well as data obtained freely online.
An introduction to data integration methods is discussed in Issac, Jarzyna, Keil, Dambly, Boersch-Supan, Browning, Freeman, Golding, Guillera-Arroita, Henrys, Jarvis, Lahoz-Monfort, Pagel, Pescott, Schmucki, Simmonds and O’Hara (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.tree.2019.08.006>.
