Other claims from this paper (4)

Method / resource Reproducing kernel Hilbert space was the best prediction method across settings with mean accuracy 0.63.
Method / resource Training set optimization was useful for two traits.
Method / resource Prediction of unrelated breeding populations significantly decreased accuracy, although some traits and populations retained encouraging values.
Method / resource Adding the URSN population increased prediction accuracy up to 0.19 as the number of breeding-program training lines fell.

Addressing biases in replacement series: the importance of reference density selection for interpretation of competition outcomes

Ramon G. Leon; Fernando H. Oreja; Steven B. Mirsky; et al. Weed Science 2023. doi:10.1017/wsc.2023.53

Other claims from this paper (5)

Method / resource Reference density criteria substantially changed inferred competitive interactions.
Method / resource The maximum-biomass model favored the larger species and nearly inhibited growth of the smaller species.
Method / resource The nitrogen-uptake equivalency model produced interactions closer to neutral competition.
Method / resource The biomass inflection-point model was the most sensitive and informative across mixtures.
Recommendation Reference density selection should meet sensitivity and within-species competition criteria.
