I've been reading up on MaxEnt, and it seems that the standalone tool had a 'Do jackknife to measure variable importance' option built into the tool. This would help&nbsp; determine the highest performing variables. Is there a version of this in the ArcGIS Pro GP MaxEnt? Is there a script for this to be added?</P><P>I've done a correlation matrix via the Band Collection Statistics tool and chosen which variables to omit at .95 and .8 correlation. I also have MaxEnt output the&nbsp;Partial Response of Continuous Variables chart, but I'm still trying to make it all make sense.&nbsp;</P><P>Is this the way to do it? I would love if jackknife was an obvious option built into the tool.&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks!</P> Wed, 04 Mar 2026 02:27:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/maxent-and-jackknifing/m-p/1688229#M27697 GISJess 2026-03-04T02:27:07Z https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/maxent-and-jackknifing/m-p/1699967#M27725 <P>I had the same question as GISJess.&nbsp; It seems as there is no 'variable importance' plots, like the Java version of the model produces.&nbsp; I don't understand why this would be take out of the model outputs.&nbsp; Is there a way to output something that would be equivalent to the variable importance plots in ArcGIS Pro?&nbsp; The coefficients are useful in determining the relationships, but doesn't rank them against each other, unless I'm missing something?&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Mon, 04 May 2026 21:36:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/maxent-and-jackknifing/m-p/1699967#M27725 G__AndrewFricker 2026-05-04T21:36:36Z
