This tutorial explains to the user how to build MoRIS input files, in order to perform HMD (Human Mediated Dispersal) parameters estimation.
This tutorial explains to the user how to build MoRIS input files, in order to perform HMD (Human Mediated Dispersal) simulations and parameters estimation.

MoRIS requires 3 input files:
- <strong>The map file</strong>, describing a discretized version of the area of interest, made of "cells" of a given size (<em>e.g.</em> squares, or hexagons, or anything else),
MoRIS requires three input files:
- <strong>The map file</strong>, describing a discretized version of the area of interest, made of "cells" of a given size (<em>e.g.</em> squares, hexagons, or anything else),
- <strong>The network file</strong>, describing the network connecting cells on the map (<em>e.g.</em> a road network, but any network could work, such as a river system or an aerial system),
- <strong>The sample file</strong>, describing the sampling effort of the invasive species of interest, cell by cell. A presence-absence scheme is required.

#### A) Choose an extent.
Define a <strong>working area</strong> (red square on figure 1) around your <strong>area of interest</strong>, namely: the area where you have presence/absence data on your favorite invasive species (red/green dots on figure 1).

This <strong>working area</strong> must be centered around and larger by at least 100% than the invaded part of your area of interest, except for natural barriers (the ocean for example, left/West side on figure 1). Do not underestimate the importance of this <strong>bufferring area</strong>, to avoid estimation biases in MoRIS.
