bRacatus: A method to estimate the accuracy and biogeographical status of georeferenced biological data
Original language description
(1) Georeferenced biological data of species distributions, abundances or traits are critical for ecological and evolutionary research. However, the accuracy (true vs. false records) and biogeographical status (native vs. alien) of individual georeferenced records are often unclear, which limits their use in species distribution modelling, analyses of biodiversity change and other applications. (2) Here, we introduced bRacatus, a new method and R package to estimate a given georeferenced records probability of being true or false and of corresponding to a native or an alien occurrence. Our framework avoided artificial thresholds of data filtering and instead implemented a probabilistic framework which allowed propagating uncertainties in subsequent analyses. We trained and tested our method on 400 terrestrial species of amphibians, birds, terrestrial mammals and vascular plants from four continents. (3) bRacatus showed good predictive power (mean AUC higher than 0,9, mean RMSE lower than 0,3) for bot
