Impact of Drought Stress on Maize Yield
Description A reproducible R project analyzing the impact of drought stress on maize yield using simulation, visualization (ggplot2), and t-test statistics.
Objective To evaluate whether drought stress significantly reduces maize yield.
Data
This project uses simulated yield data generated using a normal distribution (rnorm function in R).
The simulation mimics realistic maize yield variation under normal and drought conditions.
Methods
- Simulated yield data (Normal vs Drought)
- Summary statistics
- Data visualization using ggplot2
- Independent samples t-test
Reproducibility
- set.seed(123) used for reproducible results
- Script can be run entirely in R
Tools
- R
- ggplot2
