VeraCrop: Yield Gap Analysis Using Comparative Performance Analysis

Implements automated variable-type detection, preprocessing, encoding, scaling, model diagnostics, variable selection, and yield gap computation for agricultural comparative performance analysis (CPA). The comparative performance analysis approach is described in de Bie (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.scienta.2003.11.017>. For an overview of yield gap assessment methodologies, see Kamkar et al. (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.agsy.2025.104392>.
