This release introduces several new features including:
- Improved mapping capabilities - you can now specify occurrence symbol size and colour, and overlay a context layer (such as country boundaries) on your output map.
- Experiments run in their own thread.- this makes for a more responsive user interface and you can look at completed models whilst the experiment is still running.
- Web Service modelling improvements - improvement have been made to allow better job progress reporting when running as a web sevice.
- Absence modelling is now supported - previous versions of openModellerDesktop did not handle absence data properly so absence modelling was not available.
- GBIF Rest Data Fetcher (work sponsored by GBIF with our thanks!) - it is now possible to retrieve occurrence data using the new GIF Rest query service. The data fetcher has also had various cosmetic and useability improvements, and now functions as a wizard.
- New algorithms - openModeller Desktop now ships with two new algorithms (Support Vector Machines and Bioclim Score).
- Thresholding tool - you can now compute 'hotspot' models showing the predicted species count per cell by aggregating many model outputs into a single raster file. The threshold tool can also be used for 'concensus' modelling where many algorithms are used for a single species and all the resulting probability distribution maps are combined to provide a map indicating where most algorithms are in agreement that a species will ocurr at a given cell.
