Project description

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 early development.
