Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone knows of a species distribution model that can take in percentage data (i.e. presence data with prevalence values attached to them)? The dataset I have right now has many occurrence points of a species, with each point containing information on the prevalence of the species at that particular location. However, the current SDMs (e.g. MaxEnt, GAM etc.) that I am using only allow me to input all these as presence data and treats all presence data equally in predicting the potential distribution of the species of interest. I would like to run a model that can take in the prevalence of each occurrence point and weight the points accordingly to produce the final results. I would greatly appreciate if anyone has any information on this, or if there's an alternative method that I can use to account for percentage data for each occurrence point. Thank you so much in advance!
