Species distribution modeling support tools
Project description
elapid
Documentation: earth-chris.github.io/elapid
Source code: earth-chris/elapid
Introduction
elapid provides python support for species distribution modeling. This includes a custom MaxEnt implementation and general spatial processing tools. It will soon include tools for working with GBIF-format datasets.
The name is an homage to A Biogeographic Analysis of Australian Elapid Snakes (H.A. Nix, 1986), the paper widely credited with defining the essential bioclimatic variables to use in species distribution modeling. It's also a snake pun (a python wrapper for mapping snake biogeography).
The maxent modeling tools and feature transformations are translations of the R maxnet package. It uses the glmnet python bindings, and is implemented using sklearn conventions.
This package is still in the early stages of development.
