Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource Statistical crop models performed reliably with at least 10–20 observations per predictor.
- Method / resource Temporal disaggregation increased overfitting risk with sample sizes below 300.
- Observation Simulated maize yields fluctuated between 15 and 65 q/ha across years.
- Association Maize yields were lower during rainfall deficits.
- Recommendation The authors recommend adequate sample sizes and aggregation for reliable climate impact assessment.
- Recommendation The authors recommend improved climate data, adaptive agricultural practices, irrigation and cropping strategies.
- Recommendation The authors recommend integrating statistical models with advanced machine learning to improve predictive accuracy.
