[R-sig-eco] Categorical variables Maxent dismo

[Diego Guevara]

Hola Irene

I have been learning Maxent this week. In my case I have one categorical
variable. I tried the ENMeval package there is an option to name
categoricals="your variable". On the dismo package I think you have to
pred_nf <- dropLayer(predictors, 'Fence') to do the training and background
and then in the model you attached them again.
xm <- maxent(predictors, pres_train, factors='Fence')

I don't know how it works statistically. But I hope it helps.

Cheers
Diego
