Summary
A discussion on yield component analysis is presented in the paper. The discussion regards such issues as inappropriateness of a linear model in application to yield component analysis, correct measurement of yield and its components, sequential and nonsequential development of the components, and a choice of a statistical analysis method to provide a view on a relationship between yield and its components.
