Regression models show strong performance in crop yield prediction

A new research paper evaluates five regression models for crop yield prediction, utilizing a dataset of 1 million observations. The study compared multiple linear regression, random forest regression, decision-tree regression, ridge regression, and lasso regression. Results indicated that linear regression models, particularly lasso regression with a 70:30 training-testing split, achieved competitive performance with a high coefficient of determination (R-squared) and low root mean squared error (RMSE), suggesting their effectiveness as baselines for this agricultural task.
