Analysis of omission/commission
The following picture shows the omission rate and predicted area as a function of the cumulative threshold. The
omission rate is is calculated both on the training presence records, and (if test data are used) on the test records.
The omission rate should be close to the predicted omission, because of the definition of the cumulative
threshold.
The next picture is the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the same data. Note that the specificity
is defined using predicted area, rather than true commission (see the paper by Phillips, Anderson and Schapire
cited on the help page for discussion of what this means). This implies that the maximum achievable AUC is less
than 1. If test data is drawn from the Maxent distribution itself, then the maximum possible test AUC would be
0.936 rather than 1; in practice the test AUC may exceed this bound.
Some common thresholds and corresponding omission rates are as follows. If test data are available, binomial
probabilities are calculated exactly if the number of test samples is at most 25, otherwise using a normal
approximation to the binomial. These are 1-sided p-values for the null hypothesis that test points are predicted no
better than by a random prediction with the same fractional predicted area. The "Balance" threshold minimizes 6
* training omission rate + .04 * cumulative threshold + 1.6 * fractional predicted area.

Response curves
These curves show how each environmental variable affects the Maxent prediction. The curves show how the
predicted probability of presence changes as each environmental variable is varied, keeping all other
environmental variables at their average sample value. Click on a response curve to see a larger version. Note
that the curves can be hard to interpret if you have strongly correlated variables, as the model may depend on the
correlations in ways that are not evident in the curves. In other words, the curves show the marginal effect of
changing exactly one variable, whereas the model may take advantage of sets of variables changing together.
In contrast to the above marginal response curves, each of the following curves represents a different model,
namely, a Maxent model created using only the corresponding variable. These plots reflect the dependence of
predicted suitability both on the selected variable and on dependencies induced by correlations between the
selected variable and other variables. They may be easier to interpret if there are strong correlations between
variables.
The following table gives estimates of relative contributions of the environmental variables to the Maxent
model. To determine the first estimate, in each iteration of the training algorithm, the increase in regularized gain
is added to the contribution of the corresponding variable, or subtracted from it if the change to the absolute
value of lambda is negative. For the second estimate, for each environmental variable in turn, the values of that
variable on training presence and background data are randomly permuted. The model is reevaluated on the
permuted data, and the resulting drop in training AUC is shown in the table, normalized to percentages. As with
the variable jackknife, variable contributions should be interpreted with caution when the predictor variables are
correlated.
The following picture shows the results of the jackknife test of variable importance. The environmental variable
with highest gain when used in isolation is Elevation, which therefore appears to have the most useful
information by itself. The environmental variable that decreases the gain the most when it is omitted is
SRAD_05, which therefore appears to have the most information that isn't present in the other variables.
