IntroductionD ata science has been emerged as a well-defined multi-disciplinary field that comprises of statistics, computer science and machine learning methodologies enabled to learn optimized information can be inferred inside from the data (Hui et al., 2019;Igual and Segui, 2017).Data science deals with the massive amount of data by adding the methods from computer science to the repertoire of statistics (Cielen Abstract | An optimized wheat crop productivity model can play a crucial role for evolving effective agricultural policy decisions for food concerns and trepidation.This study measures the efficacies of modified machine learning algorithms using multiple linear regression (MLR), decision tree regression (DTR) and random forest regression (RFR) for wheat productivity using 75% and 25% randomized partitions.The 26,430 field of wheat crop cut experiments (C.C.E) is taken from crop reporting service (CRS), Punjab for the years 2016-17 to 2019-2020.Three generated datasets (D2, D3 and D4) were used to optimize the model performance.The heat plot map shows very strong significance of correlation matrix for D3 and D4, while it was low for D1 and D2.The modified RFR produced lowest values of error for all the datasets, comparing with benchmark DTR and MLR (Error MLR > Error DTR > Error RFR ).The modified RFR found best fitted model for the prediction of wheat productivity.The hyper parametric tuning K-Fold cross validation is applied to get the most optimized sub fold for the modified models.It is demonstrated that modified RFR provides superior performance as we advanced from D1 to D4.The results got best when it used D4 for random forest regression with the K Fold-6.
