[Biomod-commits] Can I use categorical variables in BIOMOD?

[Andreas Soteriades]

Hi again,

I would like to play a little bit with BIOMOD by using the sample dataset for Bradypus Variegatus which is given in the MaxEnt tutorial. The data consist of : i) a dataset with the species' localities plus continuous bioclimatic variables, ii) a dataset of background points. Nevertheless, one of the variables is categorical and it describes potential vegetation classes. Its values are distinct, ranging from 1 to 14.

Could you please let me know if- and how- I can use the above mentioned categorical variable in BIOMOD?

Cheers,

Andreas
