Abstract

This study investigated the significant explanatory variables influenced to the sugar cane yield in the northeast of Thailand with MLR (multiple linear regression) model. Best subsets and stepwise techniques were applied to gain the suitable MLR equation compiling with assumption of regression. The result of study revealed there were 5 important independent variables; Cultivated area, sugar cane quantity sent to factories, average price of sugar cane, minimum temperature and number of rainy days, selected in the estimated regression equation with 14.7412 for standard error of estimation. The performance of MLR model was verified with the root mean square error (RMSE). It indicated that the MLR model efficiently estimated the sugar cane yield with the small value of RMSE (12.7802).                   Keywords :  sugar cane yield, MLR model, best subsets, stepwise regression
