Visible-NIR reflectance spectroscopy and manifold learning methods applied to the detection of fungal infections on citrus fruit by Lorente, Delia, Escandell-Montero, P., Cubero, Sergio, Gómez-Sanchís, Juan, Blasco, José

“…. 'Clemenvilla' were acquired in two different spectral regions, from 650 nm to 1050 nm (visible NIR) and from 1000 nm to 1700 nm (NIR), pointing to significant differences in spectra between sound and decaying skin for both spectral ranges. Three different manifold learning methods (principal component analysis, factor analysis and Sammon mapping) were investigated to transform the high-dimensional spectral data into meaningful representations of reduced dimensionality containing the essential information. …”

Ecoinformatics for integrated pest management: expanding the applied insect ecologist's tool-kit by Rosenheim, Jay A., Parsa, S, Forbes, AA, Krimmel, WA, Law, YH, Segoli, M, Sivakoff, Frances S., Zaviezo, T, Gross, K

“…Here, we aim to open a discussion on the possible merits of expanding the use of observational studies, and in particular the use of data from farmers or private pest management consultants in "ecoinformatics" studies, as tools that might complement traditional, experimental research. The manifold advantages of experimentation are widely appreciated: experiments provide definitive inferences regarding causal relationships between key variables, can produce uniform and high-quality data sets, and are highly flexible in the treatments that can be evaluated. …”
