eSDM
eSDM is an R package designed to allow users to create ensembles of
predictions from species distribution models (SDMs) made at different
spatial scales or with different prediction units. Included in the
package is the eSDM GUI, an R Shiny tool that provides the user with a
graphical user interface that they can use to import, overlay, and
create ensembles of SDM predictions.
Installation
You can install the released version of eSDM from CRAN with:
install.packages('eSDM')To install the latest version from GitHub:
# install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('smwoodman/eSDM', build_vignettes = TRUE)eSDM GUI
You can access the GUI online at https://swoodman.shinyapps.io/eSDM/. You do not need to have R or RStudio installed to access the GUI online.
To run the GUI locally: install eSDM as described above, and then run
the following code in your RStudio console:
eSDM::eSDM_GUI()Depending on your internet connection, running the GUI locally may be faster than running in online. If text or images overlap within the GUI, please make the browser window full screen or adjust the text size in your browser (e.g., Ctrl - minus (‘-’) on Windows systems)
