Functional data analysis-based yield modeling in year-round crop cultivation.

ABSTRACT: Crop yield prediction is essential for effective agricultural management. We introduce a methodology for modeling the relationship between environmental parameters and crop yield in longitudinal crop cultivation, exemplified by strawberry and tomato production based on year-round cultivation. Employing functional data analysis (FDA), we developed a model to assess the impact of these factors on crop yield, particularly in the face of environmental fluctuation. Specifically, we demonstrated that a varying-coefficient functional regression model (VCFRM) is utilized to analyze time-series data, enabling to visualize seasonal shifts and the dynamic interplay between environmental conditions such as solar radiation and temperature and crop yield. The interpretability of our FDA-based model yiel
