SDMtune 1.3.0

• Add function to combine cross validation models
• Improve show method for package outputs
• Fix CRAN note for undeclared package in Rd file

SDMtune 1.2.1

• plotCor()gains the argument text_size to tweak the size of the text in the plot
• Cross validation folds can be created with blockCV version 3.x (#24)
• Support for the raster package has been deprecated (#23)

SDMtune 1.2.0

• SDMtune migrated to package terra to handle spatial data. Objects created with the package raster will not be supported in future releases
• SDMtune has a new progress bar and messages/warnings/errors have a new look
• modelReport(), prepareSWD, reduceVariable(), thinData(), and varSel() gain the argument verbose to disable informative messages
• gridSearch(), optimizeModel(), randomSearch(), reduceVar(), and varSel() gain the argument interactive to disable the interactive real-time chart
• doJk(), gridSearch(), optimizeModel(), predict(), randomSearch(), thinData(), train(), varImp(), and varSel() gain the argument progress to disable the progress bar
• The function thinData() prints a message with the number of removed locations
• The argument factors in modelReport() is deprecated. See terra documentation to see how to use factors during predictions

Bug fixes:

• Real-time charts are again displayed in Windows
• plotCor() plots a correct heatmap when there are more than 9 variables
• doJk() runs also without testing dataset

SDMtune 1.1.6

Resolve CRAN notes

SDMtune 1.1.5

Bug fixes:

• Allow fold partitions created with ENMeval >= 2.0
• Fix error generated when plotting response for categorical predictors using RF
• Update maxnet to version 0.1.4 to solve issue in cran checks

SDMtune 1.1.4

Bug fixes: Add the argument factors to the function modelReport() to allow predictions for raster objects including categorical variables

SDMtune 1.1.3

Include Java >=8 in system requirements

SDMtune 1.1.2

• Removed deprecated function get_tunable_args().
• Removed deprecated argument "parallel" form functions.
• Updated citation text

SDMtune 1.1.1

SDMtune 1.1.1

Main changes:

• New function checkMaxentInstallation() to check if Maxent is correctly configured.
• The argument parallel is deprecated and not used anymore. This because it improved computation only for very large datasets and used the superseded package snow.
• The function get_tunable_args() has been replaced by getTunableArgs() to be consistent with the camel case function naming. At the moment is still possible to use both functions but get_tunable_args() will be deprecated in the next release.
• Four new vignette are now available with the package.

Bug fix: plotPA function now works also with new version of ggplot2.

SDMtune 1.1.0

Main changes:

• The function thinData accept now a matrix or a dataframe with several columns, useful if the users has information related to the coordinates that doesn't want to lose with the thinning procedure.
• The function plotResponse plots the response for the full range of presences and backgrounds/absences when only_presence is TRUE, only_presence is unused only to compute the provided function to the range of presence locations when marginal = TRUE

Bug fix:

• Interactive plot of SDMtune objects are again displayed in the RStudio Viewer pane
