Item Artificial neural networks and linear discriminant analysis in early selection among sugarcane families(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2017-10) Peternelli, Luiz Alexandre; Moreira, Édimo Fernando Alves; Nascimento, Moysés; Cruz, Cosme DamiãoOne of the major challenges in sugarcane breeding programs is an efficient selection of genotypes in the initial phase. The purpose of this study was to compare modelling by artificial neural networks (ANN) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) as alternatives for the selection of promising sugarcane families based on the indirect traits number of sugarcane stalks (NS), stalk diameter (SD) and stalk height (SH). The analysis focused on two models, a full one with all predictors, and a reduced one, from which the variable SH was excluded. To compare and assess the applied methods, the apparent error rate (AER) and true positive rate (TPR) were used, derived from the confusion matrix. Modeling with ANN and LDA can be used successfully for selection among sugarcane families. The reduced model may be preferable, for having a low AER, high TPR and being easier to obtain in operational terms.Item Artificial neural networks compared with Bayesian generalized linear regression for leaf rust resistance prediction in Arabica coffee(Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017-03) Silva, Gabi Nunes; Nascimento, Moysés; Sant’Anna, Isabela de Castro; Cruz, Cosme Damião; Caixeta, Eveline Teixeira; Carneiro, Pedro Crescêncio Souza; Rosado, Renato Domiciano Silva; Pestana, Kátia Nogueira; Almeida, Dênia Pires de; Oliveira, Marciane da SilvaThe objective of this work was to evaluate the use of artificial neural networks in comparison with Bayesian generalized linear regression to predict leaf rust resistance in Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica). This study used 245 individuals of a F2 population derived from the self-fertilization of the F1 H511-1 hybrid, resulting from a crossing between the susceptible cultivar Catuaí Amarelo IAC 64 (UFV 2148-57) and the resistant parent Híbrido de Timor (UFV 443-03). The 245 individuals were genotyped with 137 markers. Artificial neural networks and Bayesian generalized linear regression analyses were performed. The artificial neural networks were able to identify four important markers belonging to linkage groups that have been recently mapped, while the Bayesian generalized model identified only two markers belonging to these groups. Lower prediction error rates (1.60%) were observed for predicting leaf rust resistance in Arabica coffee when artificial neural networks were used instead of Bayesian generalized linear regression (2.4%). The results showed that artificial neural networks are a promising approach for predicting leaf rust resistance in Arabica coffee.Item Neural networks for predicting breeding values and genetic gains(Scientia Agricola, 2014-04-16) Silva, Gabi Nunes; Tomaz, Rafael Simões; Sant'Anna, Isabela de Castro; Nascimento, Moysés; Bhering, Leonardo Lopes; Cruz, Cosme DamiãoAnalysis using Artificial Neural Networks has been described as an approach in the decision-making process that, although incipient, has been reported as presenting high potential for use in animal and plant breeding. In this study, we introduce the procedure of using the expanded data set for training the network. Wealso proposed using statistical parameters to estimate the breeding value of genotypes in simulated scenarios, in addition to the mean phenotypic value in a feed-forward back propagation multilayer perceptron network. After evaluating artificial neural network configurations, our results showed its superiority to estimates based on linear models, as well as its applicability in the genetic value prediction process. The results further indicated the good generalization performance of the neural network model in several additional validation experiments.Item Evaluation of the efficiency of artificial neural networks for genetic value prediction(Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016-03-28) Silva, G.N.; Tomaz, R.S.; Sant’Anna, I.C.; Carneiro, V.Q.; Cruz, C.D.; Nascimento, M.Artificial neural networks have shown great potential when applied to breeding programs. In this study, we propose the use of artificial neural networks as a viable alternative to conventional prediction methods. We conduct a thorough evaluation of the efficiency of these networks with respect to the prediction of breeding values. Therefore, we considered eight simulated scenarios, and for the purpose of genetic value prediction, seven statistical parameters in addition to the phenotypic mean in a network designed as a multilayer perceptron. After an evaluation of different network configurations, the results demonstrated the superiority of neural networks compared to estimation procedures based on linear models, and indicated high predictive accuracy and network efficiency.
