MaxEnt versus MaxLike: empirical comparisons with ant species distributions
MaxEnt is one of the most widely used tools in ecology, biogeography, and evolution for modeling and mapping species distributions using presence-only occurrence records and associated environmental covariates. Despite its popularity, the exponential model implemented by MaxEnt does not directly estimate occurrence probability, the natural quantity of interest when modeling species distribution...
متن کاملSpecies abundance distributions, statistical mechanics and the priors of MaxEnt.
The methods of Maximum Entropy have been deployed for some years to address the problem of species abundance distributions. In this approach, it is important to identify the correct weighting factors, or priors, to be applied before maximising the entropy function subject to constraints. The forms of such priors depend not only on the exact problem but can also depend on the way it is set up; p...
متن کاملMaking better MAXENT models of species distributions: complexity, overfitting, and evaluation
Appendix S1: Procedure for masking environmental variables. For the masked geographically structured approach, we took background environmental data only from the areas of the bins used in model calibration (Anderson & Raza, 2010). To do so, we ‘masked’ out the area corresponding to the bin being withheld for evaluation by using a dummy variable. The dummy variable had a value of zero in the re...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
