Journal of Nuclear Agricultural Sciences, 2026, 40(2): 413-422. DOI: 10.11869/j.issn.1000-8551.2026.02.0413

Fig.8 Scatter plots of predicted vs. observed yield values based on stratified sampling method
Note： A， B， C， D， E， F， and G represent the LSTM， RNN， RF， SVR， KNN， XGBoost， and RR models， respectively. The gray dashed line represents the 1∶1 line between the actual production and the model prediction， the red line is the fitted line for the observed and predicted values， RMSE and MAE units are t·hm^-2.
