Hi @bpetitpi
Thank you for your interest in blockCV.
The strategy you are looking for is not yet implemented. I will look into it for the next version but it won't be very soon. An alternative solution is to use a suitable spatial block size in the blockCV::cv_spatial
function and use random folds selection to find you the best possible balanced folds.
Alternatively, I recommend looking at ENMeval 2.0
package which is also designed for SDM evaluation. Also, mlr3spatiotempcv
for evaluation models with mlr3
package and CAST
for evaluation models with the caret
package.
I hope this are helpful.
Cheers, Roozbeh
Thank you very much for your quick reply and the insightful tips. Before the next version, I will work with a customized work-around.
Cheers, Blaise
Hello @rvalavi and thank you for this very useful package.
I am currently running some SDMs on many species, with very different types of distributions (rare, common, clustered, sparse...) and I was looking for a blocking strategy that can keep the same prevalence per fold (like the figure 4e and 4f in Roberts et al. 2017). For me, it seems to be the best way to compare models and also to avoid "empty partitions" (i.e. partitions without any presences).
If I am correct, such strategy isn't (yet?) implemented in blockCV, isnt'it ?
If this is not implemented, would you be aware of alternative tools that could split my folds spatially, while keeping the prevalence between presences and background ?
Many thanks if you can help me with this trick.
