Accurate estimation of the reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) is investigated due to its critical role in affecting calculation of crop water use and efficiency in agricultural ecosystems. The main emphasis in this paper is to clarify the possible uncertainty in the estimation of ET0...

A new classifier, QIFC, is proposed based on the quadratic inference function for longitudinal data. Our approach builds a classifier by taking advantage of modeling information between the longitudinal responses and covariates for each class, and assigns a new subject to the class with the...
