Big data analytics and its role to support groundwater management in the Southern African development community
(MDPI, 2020)
Big data analytics (BDA) is a novel concept focusing on leveraging large volumes of
heterogeneous data through advanced analytics to drive information discovery. This paper aims to
highlight the potential role BDA can ...
Predicting haplogroups using a versatile machine learning program (PredYMaLe) on a new mutationally balanced 32 Y-STR multiplex (CombYplex): Unlocking the full potential of the human STR mutation rate spectrum to estimate forensic parameters
(Elsevier, 2020)
We developed a new mutationally well-balanced 32 Y-STR multiplex (CombYplex) together with a machine learning (ML) program PredYMaLe to assess the impact of STR mutability on haplogourp prediction, while respecting forensic ...
Evaluation of land suitability methods with reference to neglected and underutilised crop species: A scoping review
(MDPI, 2021)
In agriculture, land use and land classification address questions such as “where”, “why” and “when” a particular crop is grown within a particular agroecology. To date, there are several land suitability analysis (LSA) ...
A comparative estimation of maize leaf water content using machine learning techniques and unmanned aerial vehicle (uav)-based proximal and remotely sensed data
(MPDI, 2021)
: Determining maize water content variability is necessary for crop monitoring and in developing early warning systems to optimise agricultural production in smallholder farms. However,
spatially explicit information on ...
KernTune: Self-tuning Linux kernel performance using support vector machines
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007)
Self-tuning has been an elusive goal for operating systems and is becoming a pressing issue for modern operating systems. Well-trained system administrators are able to tune an operating system to achieve better system ...
Identification of novel prognostic markers of survival time in high-risk neuroblastoma using gene expression profiles
(Impact Journals, 2020)
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. Patients in high-risk group often have poor outcomes with low survival rates despite several treatment options. This study aimed to identify a genetic ...
A review of the fractal market hypothesis for trading and market price prediction
(MPDI, 2022)
This paper provides a review of the Fractal Market Hypothesis (FMH) focusing on financial
times series analysis. In order to put the FMH into a broader perspective, the Random Walk and Efficient Market Hypotheses are ...
Basic statistical estimation outperforms machine learning in monthly prediction of seasonal climatic parameters
(MPDI, 2021)
Machine learning (ML) has been utilized to predict climatic parameters, and many successes
have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we scrutinize the effectiveness of five widely
used ML algorithms in the ...
A comparison of ensemble and deep learning algorithms to model groundwater levels in a data-scarce aquifer of Southern Africa
(MDPI, 2022)
Machine learning and deep learning have demonstrated usefulness in modelling various
groundwater phenomena. However, these techniques require large amounts of data to develop
reliable models. In the Southern African ...
Crop monitoring in smallholder farms using unmanned aerial vehicles to facilitate precision agriculture practices: A scoping review and bibliometric analysis
(MDPI, 2023)
In this study, we conducted a scoping review and bibliometric analysis to evaluate the
state-of-the-art regarding actual applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies to guide
precision agriculture (PA) ...
