    • Estimation of reference crop evapotranspiration using fuzzy state models 

      Odhiambo, LO; Yoder, DC; Yoder, RE (University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2001)
      Daily evapotranspiration (ET) rates are needed for irrigation scheduling. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate field measurements, ET rates are commonly estimated from weather parameters. A few empirical or ...

    • Optimization of fuzzy evapotranspiration model through neural training with input-output examples 

      Odhiambo, LO; Yoder, RE; Yoder, DC; Hines, JW (University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2001)
      In a previous study, we demonstrated that fuzzy evapotranspiration (ET) models can achieve accurate estimation of daily ET comparable to the FAO Penman-Monteith equation, and showed the advantages of the fuzzy approach ...
