Predictive Moran's Eigenvector Maps
Description
Calculation of Predictive Moran's eigenvector maps (pMEM), as
defined by Guénard and Legendre (In Press) "Spatially-explicit predictions
using spatial eigenvector maps" . Methods in
Ecology and Evolution. This method enables scientists to predict the values of
spatially-structured environmental variables. Multiple types of pMEM are
defined, each one implemented on the basis of spatial weighting function
taking a range parameter, and sometimes also a shape parameter. The code's
modular nature enables programers to implement new pMEM by defining new
spatial weighting functions.
