Improving the Accuracy of Predicting Yarn Properties by Selecting Proper Fiber Length Parameters

Fiber length is considered a very important factor in yarn production.  Many cotton fiber length parameters have been developed and used.  These different length parameters represent different fiber length characteristics.  In models for predicting yarn properties such as strength, length parameters are often involved.  We present a comparative study of selecting different length parameters in yarn property models, including model selection on a variety of properties of different yarns.
