Nonparametric DVR method using B-Spline

摘要

Nonparametric DVR (Developmental Rate) method is an efficient way to predict development of plants. The conventional nonparametric DVR method uses histograms of daily environmental data during growth period; it corresponds to construction of regression equations using 0-order B-spline. The use of cubic B-Spline enables this methodology to use environmental data in a more direct way.
