This repository provides a simple and yet comprehensive guide to creating and then integrating SpaDES compatible modules. It has a presentation and accompanying code. The files are described below:
SpaDES_presentation_Slides and SpaDES_presentation_Notes: This will be presented on April 15th 2024 at the EFI/ESA Statistical Ecology Section webinar series, and live on YouTube. To register for the seminar, please click here. This presentation explains what SpaDES and PERFICT are at a high level.
HandsOn.html: This document provides a simple and yet comprehensive guide to creating and then integrating SpaDES compatible modules. It is divided in two parts. PART I focuses on the creation of a new SpaDES module from scratch, while PART II focuses on developing a new project and integrating the module created in PART I with two other SpaDES compatible modules hosted online.
demo.R: This document provides a simple but engaging simulation to demonstrate SpaDES. It is divided in three parts: 1. Installing the installers, 2. downloading the modules and installing needed libraries, and 3. running SpaDES.
exploringSpaDES.html: After the presentation and the demonstration, we will explore the results and the modules with this guide.
In the repository we also provide a data folder with the data used, which do NOT need to be downloaded on its own, as well as a figures folder, used to create the guides.
