Presence-only Prediction (MaxEnt) Error 110202

DevinaKalika — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:15:05 GMT

I encountered an issue in ArcGIS Pro 3.4 while running the Presence-only Prediction (MaxEnt) geoprocessing tool, which failed to execute, returning the error: Error 110202: Problem parsing Explanatory Raster datasets.

This error seems to only occur when I run the tool with background points. Without background points included, the tool runs just fine. I have ensured that my explanatory rasters have matching extents, coordinate systems, and resolutions and no NoData values are present.

What could be causing this error?

Presence-only Prediction (MaxEnt) (Spatial Statistics)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Allow Predictions Outside of Data Ranges
(Optional)

is this checked or unchecked?

at least one web post had the error message when the default was used, so try unchecked...

Unchecked—The prediction will not allow extrapolation beyond the range of values used in training.

You can worry about why after.

Hi @DevinaKalika

There could be some reasons for this error

Mismatch in Extents, Coordinate Systems, or Resolutions: Ensure that all explanatory rasters have matching extents, coordinate systems, and resolutions
Presence of NoData Values: Check that there are no NoData values in the rasters
Background Points: Sometimes, the error occurs when background points are included. Running the tool without background points might resolve the issue
Memory Issues: If you have too much data for the available memory, try using a smaller subset of your inputs

Hi @DanPatterson, thank you for the suggestion! I tried running the model with the Allow Predictions Outside of Data Ranges both checked and unchecked, but the error still showed up.

Hi @DanielFox1, thank you for your suggestions! I've ensured that the extents, coordinate systems, and resolutions are all aligned and there are no NoData values in the rasters.

The Presence-Only Prediction tool works without background points. For my purposes, I would like to have background points included because I have verified specific locations as background points within my data. Is there a way to work around this issue?

Hi everyone, in my experience I saw that this problem depends on the 3.4 update. In fact, with ArcGis Pro 3.3 "Presence-only Prediction" works without problems while it gives the error 110202 with 3.4.

Hi all, I was getting the same Error: 110202 when running MaxEnt on 3.4.0. I just updated Pro to 3.4.3 and the tool completed without the error.

Edit: Nevermind - it decided to start failing on me again with the same error message. I haven't changed the data or settings.
