Automated Runs and Evaluations of Ecological Niche Models
Automatically partitions data into evaluation bins, executes ecological niche models across a range of settings, and calculates a variety of evaluation statistics. Current version only implements ENMs with Maxent (Phillips et al. 2006) or maxnet (Phillips et al. 2017).

ENMeval
R package for automated runs and evaluations of ecological niche models.
ENMeval
is an R package that performs automated runs and evaluations of ecological niche models, and currently implements Maxent using the either (now by default) the 'maxnet' algoritm developed by Phillips et al. (2017) using the 'maxnet' R package or [the original java program (http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/maxent/). ENMeval
was made for those who want to "tune" their models to maximize predictive ability and avoid overfitting, or in other words, optimize model complexity to balance goodness-of-fit and predictive ability. The primary function, ENMevaluate
, does all the heavy lifting and returns several items including a table of evaluation statistics and, for each setting combination, a model object and a raster layer showing the model prediction across the study extent. There are also options for calculating niche overlap between predictions, running in parallel to speed up computation, and more. For a more detailed description of the package, check out the open-access publication:
Also see the vignette for examples of implementation.
Note that as of version 0.3.0, the default implementation uses the 'maxnet' R package. The output from this differs from that of the original java program and so some features are not compatible (e.g., variable importance, the old html output). Our team has done some fairly extensive testing to ensure this implementation gives the expected results but the maxnet implementation is relatively new (at the time of writing this) and we encourage users to scrutinize their results.
