enmSDM R package - Tools for Modeling Niches and Distributions of Species

A set of functions for preparing data, training and evaluating dismo models, and comparing ecological niches. It complements to dismo. The package includes functions for implementing species distribution models (SDMs) and ecological niche models (ENMs). The heart of the package is a set of "training" functions which automatically tune and parameterize a model based on several popular algorithms (e.g., MaxEnt, GLMs, BRTs, GAMs, etc.). Ancillary tools include estimation of spatial sampling bias, model evaluation, and calculation of biotic velocity (speed and direction at which a species' range moves through time).
