Model module to fit a simple MaxLike model
MaxLike(.df)
.df is data frame that combines the occurrence data and covariate
data. .df is passed automatically in workflow from the process
module(s) to the model module(s) and should not be passed by the user.The maxlike method aims to infer the parameters of a
presence-absence logistic regression model using only presence-background
data, in a manner somewhat similar to MaxEnt. The practical utility of this
model has been questioned (see references), since it makes very strong
assumptions about the underlying model which are unlikely to be met in
practice. A more feature-rich version of the model is implemented in the
maxlike::maxlike package, but that implementation only
accepts raster/point data as input. This module implements a simple version
of the model using the logistic link, in a format that interacts with the
rest of the zoon system.
