xfer_area {wallace}

xfer_area Transfer model to a new area

Description

Function transfers the model generated in previous components to a new user drawn area.

Usage

xfer_area(
  evalOut,
  curModel,
  envs,
  xfExt,
  alg,
  outputType = NULL,
  clamp = NULL,
  logger = NULL,
  spN = NULL
)

Arguments

evalOut

ENMevaluate output from previous module and using any of the available algorithms.

curModel

If algorithm is maxent, model selected by user as best or optimal, in terms of feature class and regularization multiplier (e.g 'L_1'). Else must be 1.

envs

environmental layers to be used for transferring the model. They must match the layers used for generating the model in the model component.

xfExt

extent of the area to transfer the model. This is defined by the user in the map of the GUI and is provided as a SpatialPolygons object.

alg

character. modeling algorithm used in the model component. Can be one of : 'BIOCLIM', 'maxent.jar' or 'maxnet'.

outputType

output type to be used when algorithm is maxnet or maxent.jar.

clamp

logical. Whether transfer will be of clamped or unclamped model.

logger

Stores all notification messages to be displayed in the Log Window of Wallace GUI. Insert the logger reactive list here for running in shiny, otherwise leave the default NULL.

spN

Character used to obtain species name for logger messages

Details

This functions transfers the model created in previous components to a new area. The area of transfer is user provided in the map of the GUI. The model will be transferred to the new area as long as the environmental variables are available for the area. This function returns a list including the cropped environmental variables used for transferring and the transferred model.

Value

A list of two elements: xferExt and xferArea. The first is a RasterBrick or a RasterStack of the environmental variables cropped to the area of transfer. The second element is a raster of the transferred model with the specified output type.
