Abstract

In this paper, we have tried to identify the prominent factors of Rice production of all the three seasons of the year (Aus, Aman, and Boro) by applying K-Means clustering on climate and soil variables' data warehoused using Fact Constellation schema. For the clustering, the popular machine-learning tool Weka was used whose visualization feature was principally useful to determine the patterns, dependencies, and relationships of rice yield on different climate and soil factors of rice production.
