Department Research Highlights:

Edwin Kamalha a member of staff published their most recent research in the Journal of Natural Fibers

Clustering and Classification of Cotton Lint Using Principle Component Analysis, Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering, and K-Means Clustering

Cotton from the three cotton growing regions of Uganda was characterized for 13 quality parameters using the High Volume Instrument (HVI). Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) and k-means clustering were used to model cotton quality parameters. Using factor analysis, cotton yellowness and short fiber index were found to account for the highest variability.
