Table 2 Description of the NPMR models reported in this study for the building and validation sets, using locations with complete cases (no missing observations in any of the predictors). For each model, SU is the number of sample units in populated neighborhoods, Nave is the realized average neighborhood size, nmin is the realized minimum neighborhood size (0.25 × Nave), logB is the log likelihood ratio, Bave is the average contribution of a sample unit to logB. Additional measures of fit reported by HyperNiche include the cross-validated pseudo-R2 (xR2), the Pearson correlation (r) between presence/absence response data and continuous estimate of probability, and the chi-square value (χ2) representing the deviance comparing the model to a naive model
