Ensemble regression based Extra Tree Regressor for hybrid crop yield prediction system

Objective: The worldwide economies are built on agriculture, and plans for food security, resource allocation, and agricultural practices are all heavily influenced by accurate crop production predictions. Predictive models are becoming indispensable tools for predicting crop prospects due to the development of technology based on data. Limitation: A significant disadvantage of the ER-ETR for Hybrid Crop Yield Prediction System can involve overfitting, particularly in cases when the dataset is small or the model complexity is not well managed. Inaccurate forecasts based on unreported data and decreased generalization can result from approach. Method: Initially, the dataset is collected from the GitHub and preprocessed using the Standardscaler method. 70 % of the preprocessed data is used as the training set, and the remaining 30 % is used as the testing set. Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is employed to extract the feature. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LESSO) Regression is used to feature selection.A reliable method for predicting hybrid crop productivity is provided by the suggested ensemble regression that makes use of feature ensemble regression using Extra Tree Regressor (ER-ETR). Result: A simple internet-based programme for immediate forecasting is created using the Python web framework, and the model that has been trained may be used to predict the resulting profitability. Mean absolute error (MAE), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE) and R2 were the testing metrics utilized to assess the classification model. With a 95 % accuracy rate, the suggested model is superior to existing models in terms of accuracy in crop production forecasting while still preserving the data's original distribution.Because of the intuitive online interface, stakeholders can forecast immediately and make well-informed decisions on the best use of resources from agriculture. Conclusion: The study creates a hybrid crop yield prediction system using the ER-ETR approach. Agricultural forecasting benefits greatly from its capacity to integrate several models and take advantage of each one's advantages, which improves prediction accuracy and dependability.
