Validating the milking-session model. (a) Cumulative distribution of the model’s standardized residuals overlain by the normal cumulative distribution curve (KS test: P-value = 0.45). (b) Partial estimate of autocorrelation for the standardized residuals (Box-Pierce test: P-value = 0.16). (c) Plot of model-estimated versus observed yield for milking sessions (best-fit line in black; r = 0.93).
