1. Use Of Quality And Quantity Information Towards Evaluating The Importance Of Independent Variables In Yield Prediction

Yield predictions based on remotely sensed data are not always accurate.  Adding meteorological and other data can help, but may also result in over-fitting.  Working with American Crystal Sugar, we were able to demonstrate that the relevance of independent variables can be tested much more reliably when not only yield but also quality attributes are known, such as the sugar content and the sugar...
