Attribute Selection Impact on Linear and Nonlinear Regression Models for Crop Yield Prediction by Alberto Gonzalez-Sanchez, Juan Frausto-Solis, Waldo Ojeda-Bustamante

“…To validate the models, three accuracy metrics were used: the root relative square error (RRSE), relative mean absolute error (RMAE), and correlation factor (R). The results show that ANNs are more consistent in the best attribute subset composition between the learning and the training stages, obtaining the lowest average RRSE (86.04%), lowest average RMAE (8.75%), and the highest average correlation factor (0.63).…”
