title: 'VeraCrop: Yield Gap Analysis Using Comparative Performance Analysis'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Implements automated variable-type detection, preprocessing, encoding, scaling,
  model diagnostics, variable selection, and yield gap computation for agricultural
  comparative performance analysis (CPA). The comparative performance analysis approach
  is described in de Bie (2004) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scienta.2003.11.017>. For
  an overview of yield gap assessment methodologies, see Kamkar et al. (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agsy.2025.104392>.
