abstract: 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) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2021.109823>.
