There are several ways of estimating soil quality index, however the two most widely utilized are the
1) PCA method where the weights of the factor loadings are considered for the soil.
2) Expert opinion method, where the weights are assumed?
may i kindly know if there is a standard weight that is to be utilized for the expert opinion method?
The weight assigned to different factors in assessing soil quality can vary depending on factors such as the specific objectives of the assessment, local environmental conditions, and the expertise of the individuals involved in the evaluation. Different experts may prioritize different soil properties based on their expertise and the specific context of the assessment.
Sunil Meghwanshi thank you for the reply.
I had a follow up question,
do you mean that for example, the factor loading score of pH was, lets say 0.45.
now keeping in view The importance of pH, lets say, i randomly assign a value of 0.79.
is this a good example?
