[R-sig-Geo] Modelling: opinion of new methods

[Bede-Fazekas Ákos]

Dear Lara,

Several correlative species distribution models exist (and are used 
currently), including machine learning approaches as well, such as 
artificial neural network (ANN), boosted regression trees (RGB / GBM), 
genetic algorithm (GA), and random forests (RF).
You may find the papers comparing or grouping them interesting:

Marquéz JR, Gruber B, Lafourcade B, Leitão PJ, Münkemüller T, McClean C, 
Osborne PE, Reineking B, Schröder B, Skidmore AK, Zurell D, Lautenbach S 
(2013): Collinearity: a review of methods to deal with it and a 
simulation study evaluating their performance. Ecography 36(1): 27–46.
- Elith J, Graham CH (2009)? Do they? How do they? Why do they differ? 
On finding reasons for differing performances of species distribution 
models. Ecography 32(1) 66–77.

under climate change. Progress in Physical Geography 30(6): 751–777.
- Hernandez PA, Graham CH, Master LL, Albert DL (2006): The effect of 
sample size and species characteristics on performance of different 
species distribution modeling methods. Ecography 29(5): 773–785.

McClean C, Miles L, Segurado P, Dawson TE, Lees DC (2006): Model-based 
uncertainty in species’ range prediction. Journal of Biogeography
