AICc

Compute the Akaike Information Criterion corrected for small samples size (Warren and Seifert, 2011).

Usage

aicc(model, env)

Arguments

model: SDMmodel object.
env: rast containing the environmental variables.

Value

The computed AICc

Details

The function is available only for Maxent and Maxnet methods.

# Acquire environmental variables
files <- list.files(path = file.path(system.file(package = "dismo"), "ex"),
                    pattern = "grd",
                   full.names = TRUE)

predictors <- terra::rast(files)

# Prepare presence and background locations
p_coords <- virtualSp$presence
bg_coords <- virtualSp$background

# Create SWD object
data <- prepareSWD(species = "Virtual species",
                   p = p_coords,
                   a = bg_coords,
                   env = predictors,
                   categorical = "biome")
