The complexity of farmland soil systems poses significant challenges in disentangling the interaction of environmental factors affecting heavy metal accumulation. Previous studies have predominantly focused on qualitatively characterizing the interactions between environmental factors on soil heavy metal concentrations in farmland, often neglecting in-depth quantitative analysis. In this study, a novel interaction effects quantization model based on collaborative filtering combining global spatial graph and local property graph is designed to analyze the interaction between the environmental factors and their potential impacts on soil Cd/As concentrations in farmland. The results revealed that the interaction effects of precipitation and river density influencing Cd/As accumulation exhibit nonlinear synergistic relationships, with R2 values of 0.64 and 0.73, respectively. Moreover, the contributions of environmental factors on the interaction effects demonstrated dynamic trends: precipitation had the greatest contribution at moderate levels (958.9-964.4 mm), while river density became more influential at higher levels (1.3-2.2). The interaction effects related to soil Cd showed no spatial disparity, whereas those associated with soil As depended strongly on the geological location. These findings offer valuable insights into the refined analysis of environmental factors influencing soil Cd/As concentrations in farmland and their interactions.

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...
