Build per-taxon mean depth profiles for predicted-taxon gap-fill

For each taxon (the first word of the reference label at the requested level), averages each attribute across the calibration pedons into the six standard depth slices (0-5 ... 100-200 cm). The result feeds gapfill_by_predicted_taxon. Calibrate on a set DISJOINT from the pedons you will fill (e.g. a train split) to keep the fill non-circular.

Usage

build_taxon_profiles(pedons, ref_field = "reference_sibcs", attrs = NULL)

Arguments

pedons

A list of PedonRecord with a reference label.

ref_field

Site field holding the reference label (default "reference_sibcs"; e.g. "reference_usda" / "reference_wrb").

attrs

Attributes to profile (default the continuous gap-fill set).

Value

A named list taxon -> attr -> numeric(6) (NA where a taxon has no measured value in a slice).
