Abstract

Abstract Correlated data, including time series where observations depend on previous values, frequently occur in various livestock production studies. There are many statistical models and machine learning algorithms that have been developed to analyze this type of data. This paper provides a review of these models. Specifically, a detailed overview of the AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average with eXogenous inputs (ARIMAX) model, Dynamic Models and Kalman Filtering (KF), Deep Neural Network (DNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Transformer models are provided. This review focuses on steps to train different statistical and machine learning models and lists the advantages and limitations of each model.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a review, done in computer models (in silico), not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
