Does modeling causal relationships improve the accuracy of predicting lactation milk yields?
This study compared 3 correlational (best prediction, linear regression, and feed-forward neural networks) and 2 causal models (recursive structural equation model and recurrent neural networks) for estimating lactation milk yields. The correlational models assumed associations between test-day milk...
