Overview

About

Maintained by Rachel DobsonFirst published 2023-02-178 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A collection of novel tools for generating species distribution and abundance models (SDM) that are dynamic through both space and time. These highly flexible functions incorporate spatial and temporal aspects across key SDM stages; including when cleaning and filtering species occurrence data, generating pseudo-absence records, assessing and correcting sampling biases and autocorrelation, extracting explanatory variables and projecting distribution patterns. Throughout, functions utilise Google Earth Engine and Google Drive to minimise the computing power and storage demands associated with species distribution modelling at high spatio-temporal resolution.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("dynamicSDM", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("r-a-dobson/dynamicSDM")

Development version from r-a-dobson/dynamicSDM. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-dynamicsdm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-dynamicSDM

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-dynamicSDM

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
