semigroup-pruning-validation

This software implements data extraction, preprocessing, and semigroup pruning algorithms for agricultural intervention planning. Following the theoretical framework of Sampson et al. (2026) - https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9567992/v1, the code defines a state space X = G × P (6 growth stages × 2 pest pressure levels) and five intervention types (Irrigation, Fertilizer, Pesticide, Harvest, Identity). Empirical transition estimates ĥ_a are computed from crop calendar data, the dependence set D(S) is identified, and both unordered (Algorithm 4.0) and ordered (Algorithm 4.1) pruning algorithms are applied to determine minimal generating sets of interventions. The code generates output tables in CSV format and summary statistics in JSON format. This software accompanies the paper "Empirical Validation of Semigroup Pruning Algorithms for Agricultural Intervention Planning: A Data-Driven Case Study".The main file (zipped) to be downloaded which contains all the other files is semigroup_pruning_validation.zip.
