Prediction of Water Retention of Soils from the Humid Tropics by the Nonparametric k‐Nearest Neighbor Approach (2013, methodology): “From Table 3 and from previous observations made by several researchers such as Schaap et al. (2001), Vereecken et al. (2010), and Haghverdi et al. (2012), there seems to be an ef ect of the combinations of dif erent input variables on the quality of the prediction of water contents at various…”
Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (2016, methodology): “Currently, PTFs are mostly applied to estimating the soil water retention curve and soil hydraulic conductivity curve (Vereecken et al., 2010), solute transport parameters (Koestel et al., 2012), erosion and overland transport (Guber et al., 2014), and adsorption isotherms (Kodesova et al., 2011).”
Revisiting the pseudo continuous pedotransfer function concept: impact of data quality and data mining method (2014, methodology): “Direct methods of measurement are still time consuming and costly to be practical at large scales even though major advancement has been achieved in the development of lab and field measurement techniques (Vereecken et al., 2010).”
A pseudo-continuous neural network approach for developing water retention pedotransfer functions with limited data (2012, methodology): “The most important drawback of regression type PTFs became apparent when large databases were used for estimating hydraulic parameters (Wösten et al., 2001).”
Data-driven analysis of soil quality indicators using limited data (2014, background): “Despite the effort done to include morphological properties of soil structure as potential predictors of the soil hydraulic properties (Lilly et al., 2008; Pachepsky and Rawls, 2003; Vereecken et al., 2010), thus far no unified approach exists on how to best include structural properties in PTFs.”
