Overview

About

Maintained by Ian D. BullerFirst published 2020-12-2213 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Estimates an ecological niche using occurrence data, covariates, and kernel density-based estimation methods. For a single species with presence and absence data, the 'envi' package uses the spatial relative risk function that is estimated using the 'sparr' package. Details about the 'sparr' package methods can be found in the tutorial: Davies et al. (2018) doi:10.1002/sim.7577. Details about kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1990) doi:10.1002/sim.4780090616. More information about relative risk functions using kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1991) doi:10.1002/sim.4780101112.

Install

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

install.packages("envi", 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("lance-waller-lab/envi")

Development version from lance-waller-lab/envi. 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-envi

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-envi

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

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