A class containing input and output data produced by running the maxent (Maximum Entropy) species distribution modeling algorithm. Object of this class can be directly visualized in Google Earth by using the plotKML-method.
sciname:object of class "character"; vector of species name compatible with the rgbif package; usually latin "genus" and "species" name
occurrences:object of class "SpatialPoints"; occurrence-only records
TimeSpan.begin:object of class "POSIXct"; begin of the sampling period
TimeSpan.end:object of class "POSIXct"; end of the sampling period
maxent:object of class "MaxEnt" (species distribution model); produced as an output of the dismo::maxent function or similar
sp.domain:object of class "Spatial" (ideally "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame" or "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"); assumed spatial domain that can be set by the user or it will be estimated by MaxEnt (see examples below)
predicted:object of class "RasterLayer"; contains results of prediction produced using the MaxEnt software
signature(obj = "SpatialMaxEntOutput"): plots all MaxEnt output objects in Google Earth
