I have constructed a GAM which predicts the probability of presence-absence data as a continuous probability where zero=low probability of species presence and one=high probability of species presence.

I have seen the use of the AUC as a validation technique for binary classification models, however in all my searching have yet to find a statistical measure which can help me measure the predictive accuracy of my model.

Are there any statistical tests anyone knows of that I could use to validate a model which is predicting the probability of a presence-absence spatial dataset?
