Description

Assembles agricultural analyses around a single unit of observation, the management unit within a season, and keeps climate, soil and remote-sensing covariates aligned to it. Covariates are aggregated over phenological windows derived from accumulated growing degree days rather than calendar months, following McMaster and Wilhelm (1997) <doi:10.1016/S0168-1923(97)00027-0>. Models are validated with spatial resampling by default, since random cross-validation inflates apparent skill when observations are spatially autocorrelated, as shown by Roberts and others (2017) <doi:10.1111/ecog.02881>. Prediction intervals use split conformal inference after Lei and others (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1307116>. Data sources and learning algorithms are supplied through registries so that new providers and methods can be added without modifying the package.
