kuenm

The kuenm R package is a comprehensive set of tools to streamline and enhance ecological niche modeling using the Maxent platform. It provides a rigorous, reproducible approach to model calibration, selection, evaluation, and extrapolation risk analysis.

Key features of the kuenm package include:

1. Detailed model calibration: The package lets users fine-tune model parameters and select the best settings based on statistical significance, predictive power, and model complexity.

2. Final model creation: kuenm simplifies the process of creating final models by allowing multiple parameter sets and model transfers, reducing the time and effort required for these tasks.

3. Model evaluation: The package provides tools for assessing the performance and validity of the final models.

4. Extrapolation risk analysis: kuenm incorporates the mobility-oriented parity (MOP) metric, allowing users to evaluate the risks associated with extrapolating models to different scenarios and preventing overinterpreting model outcomes.
