Key research themes
1. How does Min-Max normalization impact clustering-based delineation of management zones in precision agriculture?
This research area investigates the role of Min-Max normalization and other normalization methods in improving the clustering of agricultural spatial data, which is essential for delineating management zones (MZs). Since clustering algorithms like fuzzy C-means rely on similarity measures sensitive to variable scales, normalization can critically affect the quality of MZ delineation, influencing economic and environmental outcomes.
2. What are the comparative effects of normalization methods on neural network performance, particularly focusing on Min-Max normalization and its variants?
This area explores how different data normalization techniques affect the training and predictive performance of neural networks, especially backpropagation networks. Since normalization impacts learning convergence and accuracy, detailed comparisons among Min-Max, Z-score, median-MAD, decimal scaling, and adjusted Min-Max provide actionable insights on method selection for optimizing neural network-based models.
3. How can normalization be mathematically formulated and regularized for advanced data modeling problems including dimensionality reduction and eigenvalue computation?
This research theme deals with normalization formalization and its integration into algorithmic solutions for complex mathematical problems such as multidimensional scaling (MDS) and eigenvalue problem solving. The studies emphasize regularization techniques, interval data normalization, and normalized system transformations to improve computational stability and solution accuracy.
