Model Building and Assessment
Model building includes technical aspects of model algorithm selection, managing statistical assumptions, model fitting, and translating model outputs to mapped summaries, among related considerations (Guisan et al 2017, Araújo et al 2019, Zurell et al 2020). In this section we provide an overview of key factors relevant for ESPM algorithm selection. Additional issues, pertaining to ESPM building, are outlined in Table 1.
