Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Relationships Among the Adoption Parameters of Computers and Internet in Agriculture: An Application of Probit ModelAnastasios MichailidisThe main reason for carrying out this study was to determine possible relationships among several adoption parameters of computer use, internet usage and internet access in agriculture. The key options for determining relationships (apart from non-parametric correlation techniques) are canonical correlation analysis, probit models and logit models. Canonical correlation analysis is generally seen as a weaker statistical technique than probit … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite
