Fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR), as an important index for evaluating yields and biomass production, is key to providing the guidance for crop management.However, the shortage of good hyperspectral data can frequently result in the hindrance of accurate and reliable FPAR assessment, especially for wheat.In the present researc
The handling of data on food contamination frequently represents a challenge because these are often left-censored, being composed of both positive and non-detected values.The latter observations are not quantified and provide only the information that they are below a laboratory-specific threshold value.Besides deterministic approaches, which simp
