title: Leaf thickness measurements of plants

description: # Analysis Scripts for 'Leveraging Plant Dynamics Using Physical Reservoir Computing' There is leaf thickness and physiological data available from three experiments: a control experiment and two strawberry experiments. In each experiment, the environmental conditions of a growth chamber are modulated (light intensity, temperature and relative humidity) and a single strawberry plant is located inside the chamber. Leaf thickness measurement clips are mounted on the plant except for the control experiment. In this case a plant is still inserted but the clips are not mounted. Physiological data of the plant is collected in all three experiments using a LI6400XT photosynthesis system. An overview of the available parameters is included below. N/A refers to a sensor that is not calibrated and/or temperature compensated.

The ADC range is 0-3.3V, where the midpoint is at 1.65V (0x0). `train_val_test_split` interleaves the train and test splits, such that drift in the system is automatically compensated for, while `train_val_test_split2` does not. The test data is always at the end of the analysis. `train_val_test_split` should be used with `di_`, and `train_val_test_split2` should be used with `di2_`. Three data formats are available: `data`, `full_data` and `mini_data`. `data` was used to generate the results. It is a cropped version of `full_data` that discards part of the start of the experiment and end to remove transient effects at the start. `mini_data` is a subsampled dataset, with sample spacing of 60s (sample interval), which is useful for plotting and fast analysis.
