Quantification of uncertainty in pedotransfer function‐based parameter estimation for unsaturated flow modeling (2009, methodology): “The Pearson correlation coefficient, r, and RMSE values shown in Figure 8 are about the same as those reported by Ye et al. [2007a]; the 95% prediction intervals are narrow, and only a small number of observations are included in the intervals.”

Development of Pedotransfer Functions for Estimation of Soil Hydraulic Parameters using Support Vector Machines (2009, methodology): “…structure has to be selected a priori and therefore may not be optimal since there are many types of neurons and many types of possible connections (Wösten et al., 2001), (iii) a higher number of neurons and connections than required can result in overfi tting and over parameterization (Hastie et…”
