Doğrusal Regresyon, Rastgele Orman ve k-En Yakın Komşu Algoritmaları Kullanılarak Sığır Eti Üretiminin Tahmin Edilmesi

Öz

Küresel nüfusun hızla artması ve değişen beslenme alışkanlıkları, yüksek kaliteli protein kaynaklarına olan talebi önemli ölçüde artırmıştır. Önemli bir protein kaynağı olan sığır eti, bu artan talebin karşılanmasında kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışma, meteorolojik, tarımsal ve ekonomik veriler kullanarak sığır eti üretimini tahmin etmek için bir makine öğrenimi modeli geliştirmeyi ve değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için, üç farklı makine öğrenmesi algoritması—Doğrusal Regresyon, Rastgele Orman ve k-En Yakın Komşu—kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, Rastgele Orman algoritmasının R² ve hata metrikleri açısından diğer yöntemlerden daha iyi performans gösterdiğini ve üstün tahmin doğruluğu sağladığını göstermektedir. Çalışma, sığır eti üretiminin tahmin edilmesinde makine öğrenimi tekniklerinin potansiyelini vurgulamakta ve beslenme ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için stratejik karar alma süreçlerine dahil olan paydaşlar için değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır. Küresel protein talebinin artmaya devam etmesiyle, bu tür tahmin modellerinin önemi giderek daha belirgin hale gelmekte ve makine öğrenmesi yaklaşımlarının bu bağlamda sunduğu belirgin avantajları öne çıkarmaktadır

Prediction of Beef Production Using Linear Regression, Random Forest and k-Nearest Neighbors Algorithms

Abstract

The rapid increase in the global population and evolving dietary habits have significantly heightened the demand for high-quality protein sources. Beef, as a vital protein source, plays a crucial role in meeting this growing demand. This study aims to develop and evaluate a machine-learning model to predict beef production using meteorological, agricultural, and economic data. To achieve this, three different machine learning algorithms—Linear Regression, Random Forest, and k-Nearest Neighbors—were employed. The results indicate that the Random Forest algorithm outperformed the other methods in terms of R² and error metrics, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy. The study highlights the potential of machine learning techniques in predicting beef production, offering valuable insights for stakeholders involved in strategic decision-making to meet nutritional needs. As the global demand for protein continues to rise, the importance of such predictive models becomes increasingly significant, emphasizing the distinct advantages that machine learning approaches provide in this context.
