intensification Bayesian Network
Description
Modeling intensification decisions in the Kilombero Valley floodplain: A Bayesian belief network approach.
Format
A discrete Bayesian network to or identifying determinants of intensification and their interrelationships. The Bayesian network is learned as in the referenced paper. The vertices are:
- AccessToCredi
(No, Yes);
- AgeofHHHead
(25-35, 35-45, 45-55, >55);
- Choice_Of_Intensification_Strategy
(ApplyFertilizer, ApplyImprovedSeed, CropMultipleTimes, None, UseIrrigation, UseIrrigationAndFertilizerApplication);
- CommercializationIndex
(<30%, 30-60%, >60%);
- CropChoice
(Maize, Rice, RiceAndMaize, RiceMaizeAndVegit, Vegitables, VegitAndMaize, VegitAndRice);
- DistanceToBigMarket
(<15km, 15-30km, >30km);
- ExpectedPriceOfMaize
(0, 0-800, 800-861.111, 861.111-1111.11);
- ExpectedPriceOfRice
(0 to 1000, 1000 to 1200, 1200 to 1500, 1500 to 1900);
- FarmerType
(AgroPastoralist, Diversifier, Subsistence);
- Income
(0-160, 160-280, 280-600, 600-15800);
- LabourInManDays
(<120, 120-220, 220-400, >400);
- PercentOfNonFarmIncome
(None, <30%, >30%);
- ShareOfHiredLabour
(<10%, 10-60%, >60%);
- SizeOfCropLand
(<3Ha, 3-6Ha, 6-9Ha, >9Ha);
- SizeOfHousehold
(<4, 4-7, >7);
- TopographicWetnessIndex
(14-18, 18-23, 23-32);
