AlphaSDM 0.2.0

First CRAN release.

  • Maps download straight from Earth Engine in tiles sized to its 32 MB download limit, fetched two at a time and stitched into one GeoTIFF per model. Google Drive is used only for maps Earth Engine will not compute tile by tile.
  • generate_map() computes the ensemble on Earth Engine and accepts aoi = "bbox".
  • The Earth Engine Python client is declared with reticulate::py_require(), so reticulate installs it when needed; AlphaSDM no longer installs Python itself and no longer depends on ‘rgee’.
  • The saved project ID lives in tools::R_user_dir("AlphaSDM", "config"). clear_gee_credentials() removes it and asks before signing out of Earth Engine.
  • Connecting to Earth Engine no longer deletes old temporary assets; use sdm_clean_assets().
  • A getting-started vignette, vignette("AlphaSDM"), maps saguaro around Tucson from GBIF records.
  • Removed unused code, including the remains of built-in cross-validation.
