GAM-NICHE: Shape-Constrained GAMs to build Species Distribution Models under the ecological niche theory
2025-03-11
About
This is a short tutorial for constructing Species Distribution Models in R using Shape-Constrained Generalized Additive Models (Pya and Wood 2015), based on the development and application to marine fish by Citores et al. (2020).
