R kullanarak Mars Veri Madenciliği Algoritması ile Yumurta Ağırlığı Tahmini

Abstract

Internal and external quality characters of poultry eggs are quitely important to determine egg weight. Also, the quality of eggs is important for both hatching and egg production. The purpose of this study was modelling of egg weight with the MARS (Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines) method using inner and outsider quality characters of egg in Lohmann LSL Classic white hybrit flock. For this purpose, the eggs of the Lohmann LSL Classic white hybrid flock (n=60) were used. Weekly egg yields were evaluated from the 22nd week to the 62nd week. In the research, for the prediction of dependent and continuous variable egg weight; shape index (SI), shell breaking resistance (SBS), shell weight (SW), shell thickness (ST), yolk diameter (YD), yolk width (YW), yolk height (YH), color (YC ), albumen length (AW), albumen height (AL) and albumen height (AH) were used. In order to obtain perfect goodness of fit, in the “earth” package of the R program, the definitions of penalty -1, degree = 2, nprune = 10 and nk = 60. The research, the mars prediction model was determined such as EW = 63.1-0.906 * max (0,75-SI)-0.32 * max (0, SI-75) -62.4 * max (0,0.57-ST) -354 * max (0, ST-0.57) + 1.13 * Groupa2 * max (0, 75-SI) + 1.49 * (0.0.57-ST) max * YD + 8.2*max(0, ST 0.57) * YD-0.02*(0 YD-38.5)max* YC-0.0366*YH * max(0,13-YC). As a result, some quality variables were found to be important in determining egg weight. Variables such as group a2, SI, YC, ST, YD, YH to estimate the weight of the egg determined as the dependent variable were used. Other variables are not included in this equation. In the poultry, the MARS prediction model may be a better alternative to classical nonlinear models in predicting egg weight since that it is easier and has higher accuracy.
