摘要: When applied to structured data, conventional random cross-validation techniques can lead underestimation of prediction error, and may result in inappropriate model selection. We present the R package blockCV, a new toolbox for species distribution modelling. The generate spatially or environmentally separated folds. It includes tools measure spatial autocorrelation ranges candidate covariates, providing user with insights into structure these data. also offers interactive graphical capabilities creating blocks exploring data Package blockCV enables modellers more easily implement range evaluation approaches. will help modelling community learn about impacts approaches on our understanding predictive performance models.
