Main functions

Here are the main function created for simulation and what they can do:

Sample data from a species true intensity:

• simpo allows to simulate biased presence-only patterns from an underlying species intensity
• simocc allows to simulate biased occupancy data from an underlying species intensity

Observer recording and accuracy:

• misidpoints simulate misidentification from a supplied point pattern coming from simpo output (simpoRes)
• multiplepo generate multiple species point patterns

Data-dynamic:

• deathpoints simulate the death of point randomly (random = TRUE) or using habitat suitability (random = TRUE) from a supplied output from simpo, simpoRes
• birthpoints simulate birth (birth=TRUE) and colonization processes (birth=FALSE)
• movepoints simulate point movements randomly (mov_type = "random"), depending on habitat suitability (mov_type = "intensity") or a environmental covariate in particular (mov_type = "center").

Outreach

This work is part of my PhD thesis here and has ben presented to the online R in Ecology conference here
