Study on Rapid Inversion Method for Chlorophyll Content in Ginseng Leaves Based on Reflectance Spectroscopy by Jinyu Wang, Jin Yang, Jiaqi Chen, Shulong Feng, Zitong Zhao, Mingjia Wang, Nan Song, Wei Zhang, Ci Sun

“…To address the problem that the existing means of detecting chlorophyll in ginseng leaves are time-consuming and disruptive and cannot meet the demand for rapid detection of chlorophyll in ginseng leaves, this study firstly establishes a variety of prediction models for chlorophyll in ginseng leaves based on the hyperspectral reflectance data and the vegetation index, respectively, and determines the strengths and weaknesses of the models by comparing the RMSE and the MAE of the test sets; Secondly, the analytical model construction process used for ginseng leaf chlorophyll content prediction was obtained through comparison and summary, and a fast and non-destructive ginseng leaf chlorophyll prediction method based on hyperspectral imaging technology and combining vegetation indices with machine learning algorithms was proposed; The experimental results showed that the final VI-SPA-RFR ginseng leaf chlorophyll prediction model had the best prediction performance, which had an RMSE of 1.1568 and an MAE of 0.9936 in the test set. …”

Gross Tonnage-Based Statistical Modeling and Calculation of Shipping Emissions for the Bosphorus Strait by Kaan Ünlügençoğlu

“…These EPA-estimated values served as dependent variables in the modeling process. The modeling framework followed a three-step strategy: (1) outlier detection using Rosner’s test to reduce the influence of outliers on model accuracy, (2) curve fitting with 12 regression models representing four curve types—polynomial (e.g., linear, quadratic), concave/convex (e.g., exponential, logarithmic), sigmoidal (e.g., logistic, Gompertz, Weibull), and spline-based (e.g., cubic spline, natural spline)—to capture diverse functional relationships between GT and emissions, and (3) model comparison using difference performance metrics to ensure a comprehensive assessment of predictive accuracy, consistency, and bias. …”
