## Abundance modeling
Hello !
If you are here, you want to model abundance data.
You could try and install our new version of `biomod2` with the Abundance branch:
```R
devtools::install_github("biomodhub/biomod2", ref = "Abundance")
```
Keep in mind that it is a development branch: it can change quickly and sometimes fail !
Consequently, this branch is not reproducibility-friendly.
We invite you to report any problems, to ask for enhances or to discuss about the modeling in the issues or the forum of the `biomod2` github.
This vignette will be updated regularly : think to look at it to see if there are a few modifications.
We will also update the documentation on the branch : you can call the help `?BIOMOD_FormatingData` for example.
The documentation on this website will still be the documentation of `biomod2 V4.2-6-1`.
Here is presented an example of abundance modeling with `biomod2`.
(As we haven't add example data to `biomod2` yet, the example will be made with fake data. Sorry `>{o.o}<` )
```R
library(biomod2)
library(terra)
# Load species occurrences (6 species available)
data("DataSpecies")
head(DataSpecies)
# Select the name of the studied species
myRespName <- 'VulpesVulpes'
# Get corresponding presence/absence data
myResp <- as.numeric(DataSpecies[, myRespName])
# Get corresponding XY coordinates
myRespXY <- DataSpecies[, c('X_WGS84', 'Y_WGS84')]
# Load environmental variables extracted from BIOCLIM (bio_3, bio_4, bio_7, bio_11 & bio_12)
data("bioclim_current")
myExpl <- rast(bioclim_current)
```
### Data type
Creating your `BIOMOD.formated.data` object is similar than `biomod2` with binary data.
`biomod2` will guess your data type but you can specify it with the argument `data.type`.
There are 5 different data types :
| Type | Data | Distribution |
| --------------| ----------------------------------------------| ---------------|
| binary | Numeric (or factor) response with only 0 and 1| binomial |
| abundance | Positive numeric response | gaussian |
| count | Positive integer response | poisson |
| ordinal | Ordered factor response | classification |
| relative | Numeric response between 0 and 1 | beta |
Here we will build count data, by transforming our available binary data :
```R
# Transform binary data as count data
poissonDistri <- rpois(sum(myResp), 5)
myResp[myResp == 1] <- poissonDistri
```
### Prepare data & parameters
#### Format data (observations & explanatory variables)
```R
# Format Data with true absences
myBiomodData <- BIOMOD_FormatingData(resp.var = myResp,
expl.var = myExpl,
resp.xy = myRespXY,
resp.name = myRespName)
myBiomodData
plot(myBiomodData)
#Or
myBiomodData <- BIOMOD_FormatingData(resp.var = myResp,
expl.var = myExpl,
resp.xy = myRespXY,
resp.name = myRespName,
data.type = "count")
```
As usual, it also possible to add evaluation data. However, no pseudo-absences extraction is possible with abundance data.
#### Cross-validation datasets
The same cross-validation (CV) methods are available and can be selected with the [`BIOMOD_Modeling`](../reference/BIOMOD_Modeling.html) function, which calls the [`bm_CrossValidation`](../reference/bm_CrossValidation.html) function to do so.
The same proportion of absences of the whole data will be kept for the different CV datasets (if possible).
A balance will be kept for the different classes in the case of ordinal data.
```R
# # k-fold selection
# cv.k <- bm_CrossValidation(bm.format = myBiomodData,
# strategy = "kfold",
# nb.rep = 2,
# k = 3)
#
# # random selection
# cv.r <- bm_CrossValidation(bm.format = myBiomodData,
# strategy = "random",
# nb.rep = 4,
# perc = 0.8)
# head(cv.k)
# head(cv.r)
# plot(myBiomodData, calib.lines = cv.r)
```
#### Retrieve modeling options
Different sets of modeling options are built corresponding to the `data.type`.
You still have the `default` options and `bigboss` options. However, lot of work must be done in order to optimize `bigboss` options. So for the moment, it's totally possible `bigboss` doesn't lead to better results than `default` options.
The tuning option are not available yet with non binary data.
```R
# # bigboss parameters with ordinal datatype
# opt.o <- bm_ModelingOptions(data.type = 'ordinal',
# models = c('RF', 'GLM'),
# strategy = 'bigboss')
#
# # tuned parameters with formated data
# opt.c <- bm_ModelingOptions(data.type = 'count',
# models = c('GAM', 'MARS'),
# strategy = 'default',
# bm.format = myBiomodData)
#
# opt.o
# opt.c
```
### Run modeling
#### Single models
The modeling is similar than with binary data.
However, not all models are available. We have :
- `CTA`, `GAM`, `GBM`, `GLM`, `MARS`, `RF`, and `XGBOOST` for abundance, count and relative data
- `CTA`, `FDA`, `GAM`, `GLM`, `MARS`, `RF`, and `XGBOOST` for ordinal data
The metrics are also different obviously. For the moment, we have implemented :
`RMSE`, `MSE`, `MAE`, `Max_error`, `Rsquared` and `Rsquared_aj` (see `?BIOMOD_Modeling`)
For ordinal data, we have `Accuracy`, `Recall`, `Precision` and `F1`.
(`Accuracy` is in lower case to contrast with `ACCURACY` for binary data)
```R
# Model single models
myBiomodModelOut <- BIOMOD_Modeling(bm.format = myBiomodData,
modeling.id = 'CountExample',
models = c("GAM","MARS","RF"),
CV.strategy = 'random',
CV.nb.rep = 3,
CV.perc = 0.8,
OPT.strategy = 'bigboss',
var.import = 3,
metric.eval = c('RMSE','Rsquared'))
myBiomodModelOut
# Get evaluation scores & variables importance
get_evaluations(myBiomodModelOut)
get_variables_importance(myBiomodModelOut)
# Represent evaluation scores & variables importance
bm_PlotEvalMean(bm.out = myBiomodModelOut)
bm_PlotEvalBoxplot(bm.out = myBiomodModelOut, group.by = c('algo', 'algo'))
bm_PlotEvalBoxplot(bm.out = myBiomodModelOut, group.by = c('algo', 'run'))
bm_PlotVarImpBoxplot(bm.out = myBiomodModelOut, group.by = c('expl.var', 'algo', 'algo'))
bm_PlotVarImpBoxplot(bm.out = myBiomodModelOut, group.by = c('expl.var', 'algo', 'run'))
# Represent response curves
bm_PlotResponseCurves(bm.out = myBiomodModelOut,
models.chosen = get_built_models(myBiomodModelOut)[c(1:3)],
fixed.var = 'median')
```
#### Ensemble models
**! Warning !** The selection of single models for the ensemble modeling is different for the metrics `RMSE`, `MSE`, `MAE` and `Max_error`.
For example, with `RMSE`, `biomod2` will select the best model and all the models with a `RMSE` under the best value + the threshold you give (here 2).
E.g. if the best model have a `RMSE` of `1.850`, `BIOMOD_EnsembleModeling` will select all the models with a `RMSE` under `1.850 + 2`.
```R
# Model ensemble models
myBiomodEM <- BIOMOD_EnsembleModeling(bm.mod = myBiomodModelOut,
models.chosen = 'all',
em.by = 'all',
em.algo = c('EMmean', 'EMcv', 'EMci', 'EMmedian', 'EMwmean'),
metric.select = c('RMSE','Rsquared'),
metric.select.thresh = c(2, 0.4),
metric.eval = c('RMSE','Rsquared'),
var.import = 3,
EMci.alpha = 0.05,
EMwmean.decay = 'proportional')
myBiomodEM
# Get evaluation scores & variables importance
get_evaluations(myBiomodEM)
get_variables_importance(myBiomodEM)
# Represent evaluation scores & variables importance
bm_PlotEvalMean(bm.out = myBiomodEM, group.by = 'full.name')
bm_PlotEvalBoxplot(bm.out = myBiomodEM, group.by = c('full.name', 'full.name'))
bm_PlotVarImpBoxplot(bm.out = myBiomodEM, group.by = c('expl.var', 'algo', 'merged.by.run'))
# Represent response curves
bm_PlotResponseCurves(bm.out = myBiomodEM,
models.chosen = get_built_models(myBiomodEM)[c(1, 5, 6)],
fixed.var = 'median')
```
### Project models
#### Single models
The argument `digits` indicates the number of digits for the predicted values.
Keep in mind that `integer` are "lighter" than `float`.
For `relative` data, you can use the same argument `on_0_1000` than binary data.
```R
# Project single models
myBiomodProj <- BIOMOD_Projection(bm.mod = myBiomodModelOut,
proj.name = 'Current',
new.env = myExpl,
models.chosen = 'all',
build.clamping.mask = TRUE,
digits = 1)
myBiomodProj
plot(myBiomodProj)
```
#### Ensemble models
```R
# Project ensemble models (from single projections)
myBiomodEMProj <- BIOMOD_EnsembleForecasting(bm.em = myBiomodEM,
bm.proj = myBiomodProj,
models.chosen = get_built_models(myBiomodEM)[c(1,3:7,9:12)])
myBiomodEMProj
plot(myBiomodEMProj)
```
### Compare range sizes
```R
# Load environmental variables extracted from BIOCLIM (bio_3, bio_4, bio_7, bio_11 & bio_12)
data("bioclim_future")
myExplFuture = rast(bioclim_future)
# Project onto future conditions
myBiomodProjFuture <- BIOMOD_Projection(bm.mod = myBiomodModelOut,
proj.name = 'FutureProj',
new.env = myExplFuture,
models.chosen = 'all')
# Load current and future binary projections
CurrentProj <- get_predictions(myBiomodProj)
FutureProj <- get_predictions(myBiomodProjFuture)
myBiomodRangeSize <- BIOMOD_RangeSize(proj.current = CurrentProj,
proj.future = FutureProj,
thresholds = c(10,30,50))
# Represent main results
gg = bm_PlotRangeSize(bm.range = myBiomodRangeSize,
do.count = TRUE,
do.perc = TRUE,
do.maps = TRUE,
do.mean = FALSE,
do.plot = TRUE,
row.names = c("Species", "Dataset", "Run", "Algo"))
```
**! Remember !** This is fake data !
