MCA flowchart. Flowchart describing the pre-processing steps for the construction of the final multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) to explore the farm descriptors and removal patterns visually and to be used for further classification purposes.

Small n indicates the number of variables and the subscript the corresponding block
