-Description: The nimo (niche modeler) R package, based on flexsdm and powered by 
-    Shiny, offers users the flexibility to manipulate and parameterize models 
-    according to their unique research needs. It provides a user-friendly graphical 
-    interface that enables users to define complete or partial modeling procedures, 
-    including variables, records, algorithms, ensemble methods, and algorithm tuning. 
-    Additionally, nimo seamlessly integrates with the Global Biodiversity Information 
-    Facility (GBIF), allowing users to easily query occurrence data for biodiversity 
-    research and incorporate it into their modeling analyses. This comprehensive 
-    package empowers researchers to explore, customize, and model their data 
-    effectively, with the added benefit of accessing real-world biodiversity 
-    data through GBIF.
