Nutrition Situation and its Food Policy Links por Kumar, Shubh K.

“…Another reason why nutritional problems do not receive much attention in Africa is that in recent years episodes of severe drought, famine, and starvation have been relatively frequent, and attention has focused more on the shorter-run alleviation of food problems than on longer-term underlying problems. Finally, the proportion of the undernourished has been almost uniformly lower in urban centers than in rural areas due to a variety of income subsidies, better health, water supply, and sanitation facilities. …”

Refining penalized ridge regression: a novel method for optimizing the regularization parameter in genomic prediction por Montesinos-López, Abelardo, Montesinos-Lopez, Osval A., Lecumberry, Federico, Fariello, María I., Montesinos-Lopez, José C., Crossa, José

“…We compared the proposed method with the conventional method to select the penalization parameter in 14 real data sets and we found that in 13 of these, the proposed method outperformed the conventional method and across data sets the gains in prediction accuracy in terms of Pearson's correlation was of 56.15%, with not-gains observed in terms of normalized mean square error. Finally, our results show evidence of the potential of the proposed method, and we encourage its adoption to improve the selection of candidate lines in the context of plant breeding.…”
