Hi @sibylles,
Thanks for your interest in modifying and adapting our models for a specific research question you’re interested in. Unfortunately the NatCap teams capacity is very limited to be able to do code reviews externally and get too into the weeds with anyone’s source code. We also are not able to provide video calls or other direct “on call” support. We just don’t have the bandwidth to provide that kind of service at large to the community.
Making guild tables, or biophysical parameters in general, spatially explicit to better allow for the type of work you’re attempting, is something we’ve heard a lot of people are interested in. We are looking into having InVEST handle this natively at some point in the future.
Around normalization, do you think you could clarify your specific question with a small toy example, in such a way that it’s a general question that may be applicable outside this specific context? That might help us better provide some help and then also allow you to pose / research your question on StackOverflow or elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in InVEST and trying to utilize our models!
Doug
