Abstract

Precision agriculture seamlessly incorporates advanced technologies and data analysis to improve farming efficiency and sustainability through immediate resource allocation. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize research findings related to agriculture, Decision Support Systems, and precision agriculture through a systematic literature review conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The search was performed on the Scopus database, specifically focusing on publications published in English between the years 2017 and 2023. Out of 126 periodicals, a rigorous process was used to determine which publications met the specific criteria for inclusion and exclusion. As a result, only 8 relevant studies were chosen. The review emphasizes the substantial capacity of Decision Support Systems in precision agriculture, demonstrating that DSS has the capability to enhance crop yields by 15% and decrease water consumption by 20%. Through the utilization of big data, machine learning, and advanced technologies, Decision Support Systems has the potential to transform the agricultural industry by enhancing productivity, optimizing resource allocation, and enabling early identification of pests and diseases. The utilization of real-time data from Decision Support Systems empowers farmers to make well-informed choices, effectively managing production while upholding environmental sustainability. This, in turn, plays a crucial role in ensuring the economic viability of farms and enhancing global food security. However, addressing challenges like data privacy concerns, enhancing user-friendly interfaces, establishing robust data administration infrastructure, and providing adequate training and support for end-users is imperative for the successful implementation of data-driven Decision Support Systems in precision agriculture.

Abstract

The online gaming platform Roblox has become a significant player in the gaming industry, providing a space for user-generated content. Predicting the popularity of Roblox games can help developers design better games and optimize user engagement. This study explores the use of machine learning models to predict the popularity of games on Roblox using gameplay features and metadata. A dataset of 9,734 games was collected, including variables such as likes, visits, game age, and active players. Three machine learning models, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting were employed to predict the number of favorites, which serves as a proxy for game popularity. Among the models tested, Gradient Boosting outperformed the others, achieving the highest R-squared score (0.85) and the lowest Root Mean Squared Error (11,470). Key features such as likes, game age, and visits were identified as the most influential in predicting game popularity. Based on these findings, this study recommends that developers focus on features that increase player engagement, such as regular updates and optimizing game exposure. Additionally, incorporating additional data sources, such as user reviews, and exploring explainability methods like SHAP can further improve model accuracy and transparency. This research contributes valuable insights into how machine learning can support decision-making in the development and optimization of Roblox games.
