Carefully Appoximated Bayes Factors for Feature Selection in MaxEnt Models
Feature selection is essentially a model selection problem. If we take a frequentist maximum likelihood approach, we will, in the limit, select all features (unless, as is typical, we apply some sort of “early stopping” critereon). Additionally, basing the next feature to selected solely on standard measures such as likelihood gain, we fail to account for the variance of the estimate of this fe...
متن کاملFeature Selection by Conformal Predictor
In this work we consider the problem of feature selection in the context of conformal prediction. Unlike many conventional machine learning methods, conformal prediction allows to supply individual predictions with valid measure of confidence. The main idea is to use confidence measures as an indicator of usefulness of different features: we check how many features are enough to reach desirable...
متن کاملImproving Transferability of Introduced Species’ Distribution Models: New Tools to Forecast the Spread of a Highly Invasive Seaweed
The utility of species distribution models for applications in invasion and global change biology is critically dependent on their transferability between regions or points in time, respectively. We introduce two methods that aim to improve the transferability of presence-only models: density-based occurrence thinning and performance-based predictor selection. We evaluate the effect of these me...
متن کاملEcological Niche Transferability Using Invasive Species as a Case Study
Species distribution modeling is widely applied to predict invasive species distributions and species range shifts under climate change. Accurate predictions depend upon meeting the assumption that ecological niches are conserved, i.e., spatially or temporally transferable. Here we present a multi-taxon comparative analysis of niche conservatism using biological invasion events well documented ...
متن کاملEcological niche modeling in Maxent: the importance of model complexity and the performance of model selection criteria.
Maxent, one of the most commonly used methods for inferring species distributions and environmental tolerances from occurrence data, allows users to fit models of arbitrary complexity. Model complexity is typically constrained via a process known as L1 regularization, but at present little guidance is available for setting the appropriate level of regularization, and the effects of inappropriat...
