Two multivariate models were compared to assess their yield predictability based on long-term (1980–2021) rice and weather datasets over eleven districts of Karnataka. Simple multiple linear regression (SMLR) artificial neural network (ANN) calibrated (1980–2019 data) validated (2019–2020 data), yields forecasted (2021). An intercomparison the revealed better with ANN, as observed deviations sm...
