[Biomod-commits] using Migration

[Wilfried Thuiller]

Hi Viorel,

It has been a long time I did not have a look at this function. 
What is the resolution of your data? 
Just for a first try, what does it happen if you set MaxMig at 0. 

Best
Wilfried

I produced current and future distributions using Ensemble.Forecasting, but now I would like to add more realism using the Migration() function and the dispersal parameter MaxMigr. I understand that the MaxMigr units have to be in decimal degrees, but no matter if MaxMigr = 1000 or MaxMigr = 0.16667, the resulting objects (Future20a1b.Migration in my case) are completely identical in terms of probability values.
