spatialRF - Easy Spatial Modeling with Random Forest

Automatic generation and selection of spatial predictors for Random Forest models fitted to spatially structured data. Spatial predictors are constructed from a distance matrix among training samples using Moran's Eigenvector Maps (MEMs; Dray, Legendre, and Peres-Neto 2006 <DOI:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2006.02.015>) or the RFsp approach (Hengl et al. <DOI:10.7717/peerj.5518>). These predictors are used alongside user-supplied explanatory variables in Random Forest models. The package provides functions for model fitting, multicollinearity reduction, interaction identification, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation via spatial cross-validation, and result visualization using partial dependence and interaction plots. Model fitting relies on the 'ranger' package (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <DOI:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>).

collinear - Automated Multicollinearity Management

Provides a comprehensive and automated workflow for managing multicollinearity in data frames with numeric and/or categorical variables. The package integrates five robust methods into a single function: (1) target encoding of categorical variables based on response values (Micci-Barreca, 2001 (Micci-Barreca, D. 2001 <doi:10.1145/507533.507538>); (2) automated feature prioritization to preserve key predictors during filtering; (3 and 4) pairwise correlation and VIF filtering across all variable types (numeric–numeric, numeric–categorical, and categorical–categorical); (5) adaptive correlation and VIF thresholds. Together, these methods enable a reliable multicollinearity management in most use cases while maintaining model integrity. The package also supports parallel processing and progress tracking via the packages 'future' and 'progressr', and provides seamless integration with the 'tidymodels' ecosystem through a dedicated recipe step.

spatialData - Spatial Datasets for Ecological Modeling

Provides spatial datasets ready to use for ecological modelling and raster companion data for prediction: Neanderthal presence during the Last Interglacial (Benito et al. 2017 <doi:10.1111/jbi.12845>); Plant diversity metrics for the World's Ecoregions (Maestre et al. 2021 <doi:10.1111/nph.17398>); tree richness across the Americas (Benito et al. 2013 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12022>); plant communities from the Sierra Nevada (Spain) with future climate scenarios (Benito et al. 2013 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12022>); butterfly-plant interaction data from Sierra Nevada (Spain) (Benito et al. 2011 <doi:10.1007/s10584-010-0015-3>); plant species occurrences in Andalusia (Spain) (Benito et al. 2014 <doi:10.1111/ddi.12148>); presence of the plant Linaria nigricans and greenhouses (Benito et al. 2009 <doi:10.1007/s10531-009-9604-8>); global NDVI and environmental predictors, and European oak species occurrences. All datasets include pre-processed environmental predictors ready for statistical modelling.

distantia - Advanced Toolset for Efficient Time Series Dissimilarity Analysis

Fast C++ implementation of Dynamic Time Warping for time series dissimilarity analysis, with applications in environmental monitoring and sensor data analysis, climate science, signal processing and pattern recognition, and financial data analysis. Built upon the ideas presented in Benito and Birks (2020) <doi:10.1111/ecog.04895>, provides tools for analyzing time series of varying lengths and structures, including irregular multivariate time series. Key features include individual variable contribution analysis, restricted permutation tests for statistical significance, and imputation of missing data via GAMs. Additionally, the package provides an ample set of tools to prepare and manage time series data.

virtualPollen - Simulating Pollen Curves from Virtual Taxa with Different Life and Niche Traits

Tools to generate virtual environmental drivers with a given temporal autocorrelation, and to simulate pollen curves at annual resolution over millennial time-scales based on these drivers and virtual taxa with different life traits and niche features. It also provides the means to simulate quasi-realistic pollen-data conditions by applying simulated accumulation rates and given depth intervals between consecutive samples.

memoria - Quantifying Ecological Memory in Palaeoecological Datasets and Other Long Time-Series

Quantifies ecological memory in long time-series using Random Forest models ('Benito', 'Gil-Romera', and 'Birks' 2019 <doi:10.1111/ecog.04772>) fitted with 'ranger' (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>). Ecological memory is assessed by modeling a response variable as a function of lagged predictors, distinguishing endogenous memory (lagged response) from exogenous memory (lagged environmental drivers). Designed for palaeoecological datasets and simulated pollen curves from 'virtualPollen', but applicable to any long time-series with environmental drivers and a biotic response.
