Data inputs for spatial pattern suitability analysis and model validation

This dataset contains input data necessary to reproduce analyses described in Froese et al. (submitted) and its supplementary information. The dataset is divided into two sub-folders. Folder "S3Appendix" contains data for spatial pattern suitability analysis, including distance-dependent response-to-pattern curves (folder "fD", .CSV format) as elicited from six wild pig experts, and raster data (folder "GIS", .TIF format) describing modelled resource quality indices. Folder "S4Appendix" contains data for model validation of each seasonal scenario (folders "dry" and "wet", .TXT format), including the expected habitat suitability index across validation backgrounds and the predicted habitat suitability index at wild pig presence records. Each "Expected" and "Predicted" folder contains 28 .TXT files because six expert models and one expert-averaged model were each validated against four independent validation data sets. For further detail about spatial analysis and validation methods and assumptions please consult the accompanying publication Froese et al. (2017).
