Abstract

Agricultural systems are generally characterised by many dependent variables that represent their management practices and performances. Parametric approaches are usually used to explore data collected from farms and relations among variables. However, these approaches are generally limited by strong assumptions about the shape of the model that relates variables to each other, which can induce bias in studies.
