latbias: Calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index
Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be biased
by the shape of the study area. The main functionality of this package is to
calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is
bounded between +1 (100% probability to exclusively record latitudinal
shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North
oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively record
longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly
East-West oriented straight line).
