A stochastic neighborhood conditional autoregressive model for spatial data

COMPUTATIONAL STATISTICS & DATA ANALYSIS, 53(8), 3033–3046.

By: G. White n & S. Ghosh n

Contributors: G. White n & S. Ghosh n

TL;DR: An extension of CAR model where the selection of the neighborhood depends on unknown parameter(s) is proposed, called a Stochastic Neighborhood CAR (SNCAR) model, which shows flexibility in accurately estimating covariance structures for data generated from a variety of spatial covariance models.

Sorghum sudangrass as a summer cover and hay crop for organic fall cabbage production

RENEWABLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEMS, 24(3), 225–233.

author keywords: Sorghum bicolor x Sorghum sudanense; Brassica oleracea; no-tillage; conservation tillage; organic vegetable production; cover cropping; weed management
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the potential for growers to manage a cover crop also as a hay crop does exist; however, SS may not be a compatible cover crop species for organic fall cabbage production due to high amounts of re-growth. (via Semantic Scholar)
