Abstract

This study uses a Cox parametric bootstrap test to select between two specifications of the von Liebig hypothesis, a switching regression (SR) model, and a linear response function with a stochastic plateau. Specifying the production function as a linear response function with a stochastic plateau yields a superior approximation of the data for livestock gain as a function of forage allowance than the SR approach. Dans la présente étude, nous avons utilisé la technique du bootstrap paramétrique de Cox pour choisir entre deux caractéristiques de l'hypothèse de von Liebig: un modèle de régression avec changement de régime et une fonction de réponse linéaire avec plateau stochastique. établir la fonction de production comme une fonction de réponse linéaire avec plateau stochastique offre une meilleure approximation des données sur le gain de poids du bétail comme fonction de l'apport de fourrages comparativement au modèle de régression avec changement de régime.
