Abstract:
As a type of nonlinear dynamic parallelism system, artificial neutral network has a capacity of identifying complex causal relationships between variables, such as those between the winter wheat yield and the soil spatial distribution nutrients, including water content, organic matter, total nitrogen, alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, rapidly available phosphorus and potassium. By training 50 tested soil samples in the back-propagation neutral network of topological structure 6:9:1, the model of analyzing the relation between the crop yield and those 6 soil characteristics was established to validate the remaining 13 samples. The results show that the soil water content and alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen are linear to the crop yield, the total nitrogen, organic matter and rapidly available potassium are respectively multinomial to it and that the rapidly available phosphorous is of the exponential relationship with the crop yield.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
