Assessing the stability of indoor farming systems using data outlier detection by Jean Pompeo, Ziwen Yu, Chi Zhang, Songzi Wu, Ying Zhang, Celina Gomez, Melanie Correll

“…The residual analysis highlighted that outliers could be attributed to potential issues such as sensor noise, drift, or other sources of uncertainty in data collection. Across different trials, the system displayed varying degrees of resistance to cumulative Agr.Ops, with some trials showing increased resilience over time.DiscussionThe alternative decomposition method used effectively identified outliers and provided valuable insights into the functionality of the system under different operational loads. …”
