hSDM hierarchical Bayesian species distribution models
hSDM.binomial The 'hSDM.binomial' function performs a Binomial logistic regression model in a Bayesian framework.
hSDM.binomial.iCAR The 'hSDM.binomial.iCAR' function performs a Binomial logistic regression model in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. The suitability process includes a spatial correlation process. The spatial correlation is modelled using an intrinsic CAR model.
hSDM.hierarchical.binomial The 'hSDM.hierarchical.binomial' function can be used to model species distribution including different processes in a hierarchical Bayesian framework: (i) a Bernoulli suitability process (refering to environmental suitability) which takes into account the spatial dependence of the observations, (ii) an alteration process (refering to anthropogenic disturbances), and (iii) a Binomial observability process (refering to various ecological and methodological issues explaining the species presence). The model reduces to a ZIB (Zero-Inflated Binomial) model with spatial dependence if the alteration is set to zero.
hSDM.hierarchical.poisson The 'hSDM.hierarchical.poisson' function can be used to model species distribution including different processes in a hierarchical Bayesian framework: (i) a Bernoulli suitability process (refering to environmental suitability) which takes into account the spatial dependence of the observations, (ii) an alteration process (refering to anthropogenic disturbances), and (iii) a Poisson observability process (refering to various ecological and methodological issues explaining the species abundance). The model reduces to a ZIP (Zero-Inflated Poisson) model with spatial dependence if the alteration is set to zero.
hSDM.poisson The 'hSDM.poisson' function performs a Poisson regression in a Bayesian framework.
hSDM.poisson.iCAR The 'hSDM.poisson.iCAR' function performs a Poisson regression in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. The suitability process includes a spatial correlation process. The spatial correlation is modelled using an intrinsic CAR model.
