Modeling of Crop Yield Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
• Why do we need to estimate the entire distribution? The distribution of an economic entity is of fundamental importance to decision makers, especially if they are risk averse and the underlying distribution is not Gaussian, a situation that calls for consideration of factors beyond the usual mean variance analysis. In particular the tail distribution plays a particularly crucial role in risk management.

Developing Area Yield Crop Insurance under Alternative Parametric Methods: Case study for Wheat in East Azarbaijan Province, Iran
In crop insurance design, the yield guarantee and the premium are very important parameters, both of which depend upon the yield distribution. Accordingly, the accurate modeling of yield distribution is essential for designing crop insurance contracts. This study employs historical county-level yield data for irrigated and dry wheat in East Azarbaijan Province, Iran for 1975-2013 to evaluate th...
متن کاملA Density-Ratio Model of Crop Yield Distributions
This paper proposes a density ratio estimator of crop yield distributions, wherein the number of observations for individual distributions is often quite small. The density ratio approach models individual densities as distortions from a common baseline density. We introduce a probability integral transformation to the density ratio method that simplifies the modeling of distortion functions. W...
متن کاملReviewing the harvest index estimation in crop modeling
H Harvest index (HI), ratio of seed yield to aboveground dry matter, is a very important parameter for estimating seed yield in several crop models. In this study, the importance, definition, variability and estimation methods of HI in crop models were discussed. HI estimation methods are categorized into two groups including: (i) complex methods that estimate HI from the beginning of seed gro...
متن کاملDeveloping a dynamic yield and growth model for saffron under different irrigation regimes
Better irrigation management and more efficient management of crop production require modeling of plant growth and crop yield. More applicable models are usually simple and requires less and accessible inputs. The objective of this study was to develop a model for growth and yield prediction of saffron under various irrigation regimes. In this modeling soil water budget and other simple rel...
متن کاملEmpirical Studies of Corn Yield Distribution Modeling
This research paper uses partially historical corn yields of each county over five states as training set for calibrating alternative yield models including single parametric distributions, nonparametric distributions, semiparametric distributions, mixing models, and other nontraditional models. The calibrated models are applied to predict the yield of the most recent eight years in historical ...
