Model evaluation
Cross-validation of models with presence/absence data. Given a vector of presence and a vector of absence values (or a model and presence and absence points and predictors), confusion matrices are computed (for varying thresholds), and model evaluation statistics are computed for each confusion matrix / threshold. See the description of class ModelEvaluation-class for more info.

## See ?maxent for an example with real data. # this is a contrived example: # p has the predicted values for 50 known cases (locations) # with presence of the phenomenon (species) p <- rnorm(50, mean=0.7, sd=0.3) # a has the predicted values for 50 background locations (or absence) a <- rnorm(50, mean=0.4, sd=0.4) e <- evaluate(p=p, a=a) threshold(e) plot(e, 'ROC') plot(e, 'TPR') boxplot(e) density(e) str(e)
