Package: xnicher Type: Package Title: Estimates Ecological Niche Models Using Ellipses Version: 1.0.0 Authors@R: c(person(given = "Angel", family = "Robles", email = "a.l.robles.fernandez@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre")), person(given = "Laura", family = "Jimenez", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-4674-4270"), email = "ljimenez@cmm.uchile.cl", role = c("aut", "ctb")) ) Description: Ecological niche model estimation using ellipsoidal geometry under an M hypothesis. Fits nine likelihood families (presence-only, weighted, inverse-probability-weighted, skew-normal, skew-normal-weighted, skew-t, skew-t-weighted, ncst, and ncst-weighted) via multi-start optimisation with Sobol sequences. Methods for the optimisation of ellipses parameters are as described in Jimenez et al. (2022) .
