This function will calculate two major types of evaluation metrics in terms of presence-only data. The first type is presence-only customized metrics, such as Contrast Validation Index (CVI), continuous Boyce index (CBI), and ROC_ratio. The second type is presence-background evaluation metrics by extracting background points as pseudo absence observations.

)(isolation_forest) The extended isolation forest SDM.
It could be the item model of POIsotree made by
function isotree_po.
(vector of numeric) A vector contains predicted values
at occurrence locations.
(vector of numeric) the vector contains predicted values
with same number of background points.
(vector of numeric) the vector contains predicted values
of the whole area. The reason to take a vector is to keep this function
flexible for multiple types of output.
(numeric or NULL) The threshold to calculate
threshold-based evaluation metrics. If NULL, a recommended threshold
will be calculated based on optimal TSS value. The default is NULL.
(logical) If TRUE, plot the evaluation figures.
The default is FALSE.
(POEvaluation) A list of
po_evaluation is presence-only evaluation metrics. It is a list of
cvi (list) A list of CVI with 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 as threshold
boyce (list) A list of items related to continuous Boyce index (CBI)
roc_ratio (list) A list of ROC ratio and AUC ratio
pb_evaluation is presence-background evaluation metrics. It is a list of
confusion matrix (table) A table of confusion matrix. The columns are
true values, and the rows are predicted values.
sensitivity (numeric) The sensitivity or TPR
specificity (numeric) The specificity or TNR
TSS (list) A list of info related to true skill statistic (TSS)
cutoff (vector of numeric) A vector of cutoff threshold values
tss (vector of numeric) A vector of TSS for each cutoff threshold
Recommended threshold (numeric) A recommended threshold
according to TSS
Optimal TSS (numeric) The best TSS value
roc (list) A list of ROC values and AUC value
Jaccard's similarity index (numeric) The Jaccard's similarity index
Sørensen's similarity index (numeric) The Sørensen's similarity index
or F-measure
Overprediction rate (numeric) The Overprediction rate
Underprediction rate (numeric) The Underprediction rate
CVI is the proportion of presence points falling in cells having
a threshold (0.5 for example) habitat suitability index minus
the proportion of cells within this range of threshold of the model.
Here we used varied thresholds: 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75.
continuous Boyce index (CBI) is made with a 100 resolution of moving windows and Kendall method.
ROC_ratio curve plots the proportion of presences falling above a range of thresholds against the proportion of cells falling above the range of thresholds. The area under the modified ROC curve was then called AUC_ratio.
Sensitivity (TPR) = TP/(TP + FN)
Specificity (TNR) = TN/(TN + FP)
True skill statistic (TSS) = Sensitivity + specificity - 1
Jaccard's similarity index = TP/(FN + TP + FP)
Sørensen's similarity index (F-measure) = 2TP/(FN + 2TP + FP)
Overprediction rate = FP/(TP + FP)
Underprediction rate = FN/(TP + FN)
