Multiple Treatment Designs

Module 7
statistics
In the last unit, we were introduced to multiple-treatment experiments using an example with which many of you are familiar: a hybrid research or demonstration trial. Recall…

Comparisons between two treatments

Module 4
statistics
Although I enjoy this, I understand if you are restless and wondering “how am I going to use any of this in the real world?”

Sample Statistics

Module 3
statistics
In the last two modules, we focused on populations and on how to summarize them when we are able to measure every individual. In that context, quantities like the mean and…

Probability and Distributions

Module 2
statistics
Before we introduce statistical distributions like the normal distribution, we need a way to talk about uncertainty.

Experimental Design - How many controls to include in a factorial experiment?

experimental design
Recently, I was talking to some friends about experimental design (exciting topic, right?!) and we reached a topic that I had not thought would be a controversy before. When…

Processing as-applied and as-planted data in on-farm trials

pacu
yield monitor
In the context of on-farm research, we often apply treatments using variable rate applicators to investigate how these different treatments will affect crop yield. An…

Processing as-applied and as-planted data in on-farm trials

pacu
yield monitor
I thought it would be interesting to look at how to retrieve remotely sensed data from Sentinel-2 using the pacu package. For this example, I decided to take a look at the…

Processing data from an on-farm experiment

pacu
yield monitor
In a previous post, I have mentioned that pacu provided support for processing data coming from on-farm trials, as well as production fields. In this post, I want to explore…

Working with yield monitor data

pacu
yield monitor
Working with yield monitor data can be quite challenging. The data can have several sources of error and accounting for all of them can be hard. For instance, there are…
