The IN model has an advantage for use with large datasets because of its significantly faster computing time than the FA model. The IN model also avoids problems of model convergence, which may occur when using the FA model on unbalanced datasets. The relative performance of the different models did not depend on the b...

We may ask whether 1) there actually are no true ME present in the SAWYT or 2) the nature of the dataset prevents us from effectively identifying and using existing ME for predictions. It seems unlikely that the wide range of global locations present in the SAWYT all represent the same target environment, but SAWYT gen...

The advantages of DWT in LUT inversion are threefold. First, it transforms the correlated set of spectral features into wavelet features at different scales; the information carried at different scales is less correlated because of the orthogonal nature of transformation [39].
