An adapted Weibull function for agricultural applications

Abstract: The Weibull function is applied extensively in the life sciences and engineering, but under-used in agriculture. The function was consequently adapted to include parameters and metrics that increase its utility for characterizing agricultural processes. The parameters included initial and final dependent variables (Y0 and YF, respectively), initial independent variable (x0), a scale constant (k), and a shape constant (c). The primary metrics included mode, integral average, domain, skewness and kurtosis. Neste… Show more

“…Some versatile and widely used soil water release relationships include those of van Genuchten (1980), Assouline et al (1998), Grant (2004), andDexter et al (2008). An adapted Weibull relationship was also proposed recently by Reynolds et al (2021).…”

“…Generally speaking, larger R A 2 , smaller MPE N , and smaller SER N indicates better goodness of model-data fit, with "perfect fit" indicated by R A 2 = 1, MPE N = 0, and SER N = 0. As described in Reynolds et al (2021), 0 ≤ SER N < 10% indicates excellent model prediction of the data; 10% ≤ SER N ≤ 20% signifies good prediction; 20% < SER N ≤ 30% indicates fair prediction; and SER N > 30% signifies poor prediction. Further detail on the R A 2 , MBE N , and SER N calculations can be found in Reynolds et al (2021).…”

“…The first model type was parametric and modified from a non-linear sigmoidal model called the beta function (Yin et al, 2003). Following the literature, a model that assumes an asymptotic nature of crop response curves to additional N fertilizer was tested here (Anselin et al, 2004;Reynolds et al, 2021;Yin et al, 2003). Initial tests compared the beta function to multiple forms of non-linear models including hyperbolic, Richards, Gompertz, Weibull and logistic forms.…”
