SUMMARY The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model first applies the additive analysis of variance (ANOVA) model to two-way data, and then applies the multiplicative principal components analysis (PCA) model to the residual from the additive model, that is, to the interaction. AMMI analysis of yield trial data is a useful extension of the more familiar ANOVA, PCA, and linear regression procedures, particularly given a large genotype-by-environment interaction. Model selection and validation are considered from both predictive and postdictive perspectives, using data splitting and F-tests, respectively. A New York soybean yield trial serves as an example. Yield trials generate observations of yield, ordinarily replicated, for a number of genotypes grown in a number of environments (site-year combinations). Often the data are rather noisy, with a standard deviation for plot yields in excess of 25 % of the mean. An additional challenging feature of these data is the frequent presence of important and complex genotype-by-environment (GE) interactions. Plant breeders use yield trials to identify promising genotypes, and agronomists use them to make recommendations for farmers. The level of success in meeting these goals depends critically on two factors: (i) the accuracy of yield estimates, and (ii) the magnitudes of genotype-by-site, genotype-by-year, and genotype-by-site-by-year interactions (Talbot, 1984). In essence, these two factors reflect within-trial accuracy and between-trial predictability. This paper addresses only the first concern. Nothing is said regarding between-trial predictability, or agrotechnology transfer, other than to observe that success with withintrial accuracy is a necessary prelude to success with between-trial predictability. The within-trial accuracy of a statistical model may be assessed by two fundamentally different criteria: Postdictive success concerns a model's fit to its own data, whereas predictive success concerns the fit between a model constructed using part of the data and validation data not used in modelling. In either case, the statistical setting is that of an incompletely specified model, where empirical considerations enter into the decision to include a given' potential source in the model, or alternatively to relegate it to the model's residual (Bancroft, 1964). Whenever the data are noisy, postdiction and prediction are different tasks, and in general the model chosen by predictive criteria will be different and simpler than the model chosen by postdictive criteria. Because the several replicates of a yield trial constitute a noisy sample, a model chosen by predictive criteria may be expected to provide yield estimates that are closer to the true means (and to validation observations) than will a model chosen by postdictive criteria. This claim is readily subjected to experimental test. In what follows, the relative performances of statistical models chosen

Model selection and validation for yield trials with interaction

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) appear in most urbanized coastal areas of the world, accumulating in sediments and biota that are unable to efficiently eliminate them. This review focuses specifically on the mechanisms of bioavailability, uptake, and elimination, which determine the extent of accumulation and retention of PAHs in invertebrates and fish in marine ecosystems. We review here the literature on the mechanisms and factors that control these processes which ultimately determine the concentration of PAHs in marine organisms. Understanding both the temporal and spatial characteristics of bioaccumulation of the environmentally important PAHs is crucial for determining the impact that this class of compounds may have on marine populations. To provide a complete assessment of these potential impacts, scientists require knowledge about the distribution of these compounds in different environmental matrices, their uptake and partitioning in different tissues, their rates of elimination, and their potential for persistence in certain species. The combined information on these mechanisms and the environmental factors that control accumulation will help scientists develop predictive models of contaminant accumulation both for acute events, such as oil spills, and for long-term, chronic exposure as is found in many urban areas in our coastal ecosystems.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a classical data analysis technique that finds linear transformations of data that retain the maximal amount of variance. We study a case where some of the data values are missing, and show that this problem has many features which are usually associated with nonlinear models, such as overfitting and bad locally optimal solutions. A probabilistic formulation of PCA provides a good foundation for handling missing values, and we provide formulas for doing that. In case of high dimensional and very sparse data, overfitting becomes a severe problem and traditional algorithms for PCA are very slow. We introduce a novel fast algorithm and extend it to variational Bayesian learning. Different versions of PCA are compared in artificial experiments, demonstrating the effects of regularization and modeling of posterior variance. The scalability of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by applying it to the Netflix problem.
