Developed and optimized a Corn Yield Prediction Model which uses Corn Yield Data of
USA for the years 1980-2018.
• Standardized the data with MinMaxScaler, Robustscaler, StandardScaler &
Normalizer which reduced MAE from 9.12 to 8.38.
• GridSearchCV & RandomSearchCV were applied for the Hypertuning of parameters in
the Random Forest part of the model.
• Improved the MAE of RNN Model from 8.38 to 5.22 applying the hyperparameter
optimization framework, Optuna.
• Compiled Linear Regression, Random forest and RNN model which further reduced the
MAE from 5.22 to 3.14.
