Evaluating climatic variability's impact on milk yield across climate zones: A machine learning-based comparative study of Switzerland and Thailand by Boonyarat Phadermrod, Varunya Attasena

“…This study systematically compares conventional and modern machine learning models for milk yield prediction and evaluates the influence of climatic variability in Switzerland (moderate climate) and Thailand (tropical climate) using the same analytical framework.Five models—linear regression, ridge regression, gradient boosting regression, AdaBoost, and LightGBM—are tested with various feature sets, including Day-in-Milk, individual and combined meteorological variables, and three lagged milk yield values to assess their predictive value. Model performance is further analyzed on sub-datasets stratified by breed and parity range to explore climate effects in more homogeneous groups.The results demonstrate that simple models perform comparably to complex ones, with gradient boosting regression consistently outperforming other boosting methods. …”
