That is, we propose a method to predict the yield of strawberries, as one example of fruit crops harvested multiple times in one season. Specifically, we devise a model in which crop yields are affected by short-term environmental fluctuations and propose introducing differential values in regression analysis. Using four years of IoT and harvest data on strawberries grown in greenhouses by local farmers, we evaluate the yield prediction accuracy of the proposed method using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the adjusted coefficient of determination (\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:tex-math>$$R_{\\textrm{adj}}^{2}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    ). As a result, the proposed scheme reduces MAPE by up to 50% (0.36 to 0.18) and improves\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:tex-math>$$R_{\\textrm{adj}}^{2}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    by 20% (0.60 to 0.72) compared with the conventional method, demonstrating substantial gains in prediction accuracy. In particular, the yield prediction accuracy is the highest when using generalized additive model (GAM) regression, a type of non-parametric regression. Additionally, we show that the proposed method has a high affinity for GAM regression.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s43926-025-00219-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,17]],"date-time":"2025-11-17T18:57:56Z","timestamp":1763405876000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A strawberry yield prediction scheme suitable for non-parametric regression using general-purpose IoT nodes"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Yamazaki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Masaki","family":"Aono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yoshikazu","family":"Kiriiwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"219_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compag.2005.09.003","volume":"50","author":"N Wang","year":"2006","unstructured":"Wang N, Zhang N, Wang N.
