Download Workflow

This workflow takes as input a file containing species occurrence points to create a model with openModeller. The model is tested (internal test and external 10-fold cross validation) and projected one or more times. All points from the input file are used to create a single model, so it is important to make sure that the records refer to the same species, unless you are interested in some sort of multi-species model. Cross validation calculates the mean AUC.

For more information about the input format, please look at the documentation for the corresponding parameter.

NOTE: If you use the default occurrence points you should know that Gammarus tigrinus is an aquatic species, so you need to choose marine environmental layers during the modelling procedure.

IMPORTANT: When running on the workbench, this workflow requires the interaction plugin installed.

Inputs (1)

Name	Description
input_points	This input takes a text file containing species occurrence points. The file must be formatted in the following way: each line corresponds to a different record, values are separated by comma and the first line must be a header (also separated by comma) containing the column names. The following column names are mandatory to run this workflow: occurrenceID, nameComplete, decimalLongitude and decimalLatitude. All records will be used to generate a single model regardless the species name.

Bugfix: cross-validation now uses the specified input mask for model creation and testing (it was previously using always the first layer selected for model creation).
