biomod2 now relies on the new terra package that aims at replacing rasterand sp.
biomod2 is still compatible with old format such as RasterStackand SpatialPointsDataFrame.
biomod2 function will sometimes return SpatRaster from package terra that you can always convert into RasterStack using function stack in raster.
biomod 4.1 is now available
/!\ Package fresh start... meaning some changes in function names and parameters. We apologize for the trouble >{o.o}<
Sorry for the inconvenience, and please feel free to indicate if you notice some strange new behaviors !
What is changed ?
all code functions have been cleaned, and old / unused functions have been removed
function names have been standardized (BIOMOD_ for main functions, bm_ for secundary functions)
parameter names have been standardized (same typo, same names for similar parameters across functions)
all documentation and examples have been cleaned up
What is new ?
plot functions have been re-written with ggplot2
biomod2 website has been created, with proper roxygen2 documentation and help vignettes
But... why ?
“For every minute spent on organizing, an hour is earned.” — Benjamin Franklin
better documentation, better formation, better help provided
new improvements to come (update of single models, implementation of abundance models, etc)
