Hi,
As a result of the articles I have read in detail, I would like to ask a few questions and await the help of those involved.
First of all, I focused on the thesis of estimating categorical soil classes (USDA, soil taxonomy, from ordo to subgroup and series ) with 22 environmental variables.
In this context, I will represent 11 remote sensing data, 11 topographic data and topography, parent material and organism factors that are mostly studied in the literature( SCORPAN model).
I focused mostly on the Multinominal Logistic regression used. I continue my R programming and R studio training for this method.
Specifically "Spatial prediction of USDA‐great soil groups in the arid Zarand region, Iran: comparing logistic regression approaches to predict diagnostic horizons and soil types. European Journal of Soil Science, 63(2), 284-298. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2389.2012.01425.x " I read the article in detail and similar to the following articles;

My question;
- I have a total of 5 Ordos, 6 sub-Ordos, 8 large groups, 8 sub-groups and 20 series. How do I transfer environmental variable data from these fields to R Studio with coordinate information ? I want to inform you that I have the knowledge to produce environmental variables here.
- Should I extract this data on a point basis or on a polygon basis ? How do I import it into R studio ?
R studio for Udemy, Coursera etc. I keep training from places.
I expect very valuable information from you. It's a little hard at first, but I know that nothing is easy in life. I will learn! I think I can learn faster with your advice.
