Binned Relative Environmental Change Indicator (BRECI): A tool to communicate the nature of differences between environmental niche model outputs
Wilson, P. D.
Show abstract
Niche models are now widely used in many branches of the biological sciences and are often used to contrast the distribution of favourable environments between regions or under changes in environmental conditions such as climate change. Evaluating model performance and selecting optimal models is now accepted as best-practice, and a number of methods are available assist this process. One aspect of ENM application which has not received as much attention is developing methods to communicate the degree and nature of changes between model outputs (typically as raster maps). The method described in this paper, Binned Relative Environmental Change Index (BRECI), seeks to address this shortfall in communicating model results.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
