Functional diversity Etienne Laliberté 2010-04-28T00:51:21+00:00 https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2209 The new version 1.0-7 is now available on R-Forge. Additions are maxent.test() which implements the permutation tests of Shipley (2010; Ecology) for maximum entropy (maxent) models. This makes it easy to now test a model generated by maxent().<br /> <br /> Also, maxent() now accepts a matrix/data.frame to run the model on several sites/data sets in one go. The arguments names were also changed to be consistent with Shipley (2010). I hope this does not affect too much previous code written to work with maxent().

It's about 10 times faster than the previous version, which used only R code for the while loop, which was the real bottleneck in terms of speed. Comments welcome!

Thanks to Dr Shipley for contributing his R code. Functional diversity Etienne Laliberté 2009-11-03T21:10:10+00:00 https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1901 I've added the FD package version 1.0-1 today on R-Forge.

Because dbFD() relies on gowdis(), it should be faster as well. Functional diversity Etienne Laliberté 2009-10-26T08:27:27+00:00
