A study on egg yields of partridge with non-linear models [Kınalı kekliklerde yumurta veriminin bazı doğrusal olmayan modellerle İncelenmesi]

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the egg yields of partridge with non-linear models in 5 mounts of lying period. Gamma, McNallay, Modified Compartmental and Adams-Bell models were used to describe egg yields of partridge. Pseudo-R2, Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) and Bias Information Criteria (BIC) were used to compare models. Pseudo-R2 values were 0.9994, 0.9995, 0.9972 and 0.9855 for Gamma, McNally, Modified Compartmental and Adams-Bell, respectively. AIC and BIC values of these models were 43.810, 49.810; 42.051, 49.051; 77.057, 87.057 and 112.597, 122.597, respectively. As a result, it could be said that McNally is the best and Adams-Bell model is the least one to describe egg yields of partridges. © 2016, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
