Description: Functions to compute fuzzy versions of species occurrence
        patterns based on presence-absence data (including inverse
        distance interpolation, trend surface analysis, and
        prevalence-independent favourability obtained from probability
        of presence), as well as pair-wise fuzzy similarity (based on
        fuzzy logic versions of commonly used similarity indices) among
        those occurrence patterns. Includes also functions for model
        consensus and comparison (overlap and fuzzy similarity, fuzzy
        loss, fuzzy gain), and for data preparation, such as obtaining
        unique abbreviations of species names, defining the background
        region, cleaning and gridding (thinning) point occurrence data
        onto raster maps, selecting among (pseudo)absences to address
        survey bias, converting species lists (long format) to
        presence-absence tables (wide format), transposing part of a
        data frame, selecting relevant variables for models, assessing
        the false discovery rate, or analysing and dealing with
        multicollinearity. Initially described in Barbosa (2015)
