Integration of agronomic information, vegetation indices (VIs), and meteorological data for phenological monitoring and yield estimation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Jorge A. Fernandez-Jibaja, Nilton Atalaya-Marin, Yeltsin A. Álvarez-Robledo, Victor H. Taboada-Mitma, Juancarlos Cruz-Luis, Daniel Tineo, Malluri Goñas, Darwin Gómez-Fernández

“…The temporal dynamics of the VIs consistently increased from the seedling to inflorescence emergence stage, followed by a decrease during flowering and ripening, which aligns with known physiological transitions in rice, however, significant differences in the NDVI index were detected during ripening (p > 0.05). For yield estimation, feature selection was performed using principal component analysis (PCA) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to increase model efficiency and interpretability. …”
