title: 'EMOTIONS: Ensemble Models for Lactation Curves'
version: '1.3'
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.EMOTIONS
abstract: Lactation curves describe temporal changes in milk yield and are key to
  breeding and managing dairy animals more efficiently. The use of ensemble modeling,
  which consists of combining predictions from multiple models, has the potential
  to yields more accurate and robust estimates of lactation patterns than relying
  solely on single model estimates. The package EMOTIONS fits 47 models for lactation
  curves and creates ensemble models using model averaging based on Akaike information
  criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), root mean square percentage
  error (RMSPE) and mean squared error (MAE), variance of the predictions, cosine
  similarity for each model's predictions, and Bayesian Model Average (BMA). The daily
  production values predicted through the ensemble models can be used to estimate
  resilience indicators in the package. The package allows the graphical visualization
  of the model ranks and the predicted lactation curves. Additionally, the packages
  allows the user to detect milk loss events and estimate residual-based resilience
  indicators.
