Dear ArcGIS Pro Community,

I have run the MaxENT (Presence Only Prediction) geoprocessing tool, and I am requesting some assistance interpreting the coefficient outputs. This revolves around two main questions:

  1. The output includes a section titled, "Regression Coefficients" and a table listing the variables and the corresponding coefficient. Can I interpret these coefficients similar to how I might interpret coefficients from an Ordinary Least Squares Regression?
  2. When I ran the MaxENT procedure, I designated some variables as categorical. The Regression Coefficients table lists coefficients where the name takes the form, "categorical (variable_name, x)" where variable_name is the variable name, and x is an integer. What does the integer map to? For example, if x equals 2, how do I know which categorical value from variable_name matches this?

 

Thank you very much for your assistance.
