Description
The soiltestcorr
-package also allows users to implement
the quadrants analysis approach, also known as the Cate-Nelson analysis.
This tutorial is intended to show how to deploy the
cate_nelson_1965()
function for estimating critical soil
test values based on Cate and Nelson (1965). This approach is also known
as the “graphical” version of the Cate-Nelson analysis. This method
applies an arbitrary fixed value of ry as a target (y-axis) that divides
the data into two categories (below & equal or above ry target). In
a second stage, it estimates the CSTV (x-axis) as the minimum stv that
divides the data into four quadrants (target ry level combined with STV
lower or greater than the CSTV) maximizing the number of points under
well-classified quadrants (II, stv >= CSTV & ry >= ry target;
and IV, stv < CSTV & ry < RY target).
General Instructions
Load your dataframe with soil test value (stv) and relative yield (ry) data.
Specify the following arguments into the function -cate_nelson_1965()-:
(a). data
(optional),
(b). stv
(soil test value) and ry
(relative
yield) columns or vectors,
(c). plot
TRUE (produces a ggplot as main output) or
FALSE (DEFAULT, only produces a list or data.frame),
(d). tidy
TRUE (produces a data.frame with results) or
FALSE (store results as list),
Run and check results.
Adjust plot as desired.

This is a basic example using three different datasets:
Load datasets
# Example 1 dataset
# Fake dataset manually created
data_1 <- data.frame("RY" = c(65,80,85,88,90,94,93,96,97,95,98,100,99,99,100),
"STV" = c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15))
# Example 2. Native fake dataset from soiltestcorr package
data_2 <- soiltestcorr::data_test
# Example 3. Native dataset from soiltestcorr package, Freitas et al. (1966), used by Cate & Nelson (1971)
data_3 <- soiltestcorr::freitas1966
Fit cate_nelson_1965()
1. Individual fits
RY target = 90%, replace with your desired value
1.1. tidy
= FALSE
It returns a LIST (more efficient for multiple fits at once)
# Using dataframe argument, tidy = FALSE -> return a LIST
fit_1_tidy_false <-
soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(data = data_1,
ry = RY,
stv = STV,
target = 90,
tidy = FALSE,

1.3. Alternative using the vectors
You can call stv
and ry
vectors using the
$
.
The tidy
argument still applies for controlling the
output type
fit_1_vectors_list <-
soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(ry = data_1$RY,
stv = data_1$STV,
target=90,
tidy = FALSE)
#> Warning in stats::chisq.test(data.frame(row.1, row.2)): Chi-squared

fit_1_vectors_tidy <-
soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(ry = data_1$RY,
stv = data_1$STV,
target=90,
tidy = TRUE)
#> Warning in stats::chisq.test(data.frame(row.1, row.2)): Chi-squared
#> approximation may be incorrect
1.4. Data 2. Test dataset
fit_2 <-
soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(data = data_2,
ry = RY,
stv = STV,
target = 90,
tidy = TRUE)

2. Multiple fits at once
2.1. Using map
Fit
# Run multiple examples at once with map()
fit_multiple_map = data.all %>%
dplyr::mutate(mod_alcc = purrr::map(data, ~ soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(ry = .$RY,
stv = .$STV,
target=90,
tidy = TRUE)))
#> Warning: There were 2 warnings in `dplyr::mutate()`.
#> The first warning was:
#> ℹ In argument: `mod_alcc = purrr::map(...)`.
#> Caused by warning in `stats::chisq.test()`:
#> ! Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect
#> ℹ Run `dplyr::last_dplyr_warnings()` to see the 1 remaining warning.
utils::head(fit_multiple_map)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 3
#> id data mod_alcc
#> <chr> <list> <list>
#> 1 1 <tibble [15 × 2]> <tibble [1 × 8]>
#> 2 2 <tibble [137 × 2]> <tibble [1 × 8]>
#> 3 3 <tibble [24 × 2]> <tibble [1 × 8]>
2.2. Using group_map
Alternatively, with group_map, we do not require nested data.
However, it requires to dplyr::bind_rows and add an id
column specifying the name of each dataset.
This option return models as lists objects.
fit_multiple_group_map <-
data.all %>% tidyr::unnest(data) %>%
#dplyr::bind_rows(data_1, data_2, .id = "id") %>%
dplyr::group_by(id) %>%
dplyr::group_map(~ soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(data = .,
ry = RY,
stv = STV,
target = 90,
tidy = TRUE))
#> Warning in stats::chisq.test(data.frame(row.1, row.2)): Chi-squared
#> approximation may be incorrect
#> Warning in stats::chisq.test(data.frame(row.1, row.2)): Chi-squared

3. Bootstrapping
A suitable alternative for obtaining confidence intervals for
parameters or derived quantities is bootstrapping.
Bootstrapping is a resampling technique (with replacement) that draws
samples from the original data with the same size. If you have groups
within your data, you can specify grouping variables as arguments in
order to maintain, within each resample, the same proportion of
observations than in the original dataset.
This function returns a table with as many rows as the resampling size (n) containing the results for each resample.
boot_cn65 <- boot_cn_1965(data = data_3,
ry = RY, stv = STK, target = 90,
n = 99)
#> Warning: There were 93 warnings in `dplyr::mutate()`.
#> The first warning was:
#> ℹ In argument: `model = map(...)`.
#> ℹ In group 2: `boot_id = 2`.
#> Caused by warning in `stats::chisq.test()`:
#> ! Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect
#> ℹ Run `dplyr::last_dplyr_warnings()` to see the 92 remaining warnings.

4. Plots
4.1. Calibration Curve
We can generate a ggplot with the same mod_alcc() function.
We just need to specify the argument plot = TRUE
.
soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(data = data_1,
ry = RY,
stv = STV,
target=90,
plot = TRUE)
soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(data = data_2,
ry = RY,
stv = STV,
target=90,
plot = TRUE)
soiltestcorr::cate_nelson_1965(data = data_3,
ry = RY,
stv = STK,
target=90,
plot = TRUE)
