Research ArticleOpen accessComparison of Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines and Classification Regression Tree for Prediction of Body Weight of Bapedi SheepMadumetja Cyril Mathapo, Ramaisela Barley Mthembu, Albino Joas Tsenane et al.The study aimed to compare the performance of multiple adaptive regression splines and classification regression trees for the prediction of the body weight of Bapedi sheep. A total of 100 Bapedi sheep aged between one and five years old of different sexes were employed. The study measured the following: Body Length (BL), Withers Height (WH), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Jul 2024 · 5,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPrediction of Body Weight of Yearling Boer Goats from Morphometric Traits using Classification and Regression TreeMadumetja Cyril Mathapo, Thobela Louis TyasiClassification and Regression Tree (CART) is a predictive algorithm method used to explains how the dependent variable can be predicted using independent variables (numerical and characters). The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between body weight and morphometric traits (Body Length (BL), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height (RH), Rump Width (RW), Ear Length (EL), Cannon Circumference (CC) and Head … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 3 May 2021 · 8,439 accessesView PDF Cite
