seed cap tightness is known to be highly associated with the low germinability of sugar beet fruits. despite, accomplishment of physiological phases of germination in germinating sugar beet seed with a tight cap, seedling emergence is usually suppress by the cap. as the seed coat (including the cap) is originated from ovary wall of the mother plant, seed cap tightness could be considered as one...

The two-group cross-validation classification accuracies of six algorithms (i.e., least squares, ridge regression, principal components, a common factor method, equal weighting, and logistic regression) were compared as a function of degree of validity concentration, group separation, and number of subjects. Therein, the findings of two previous studies were extended to the latter three methods...
