Parametric regression models assume that the dependent variable is a linear relationship with the independent variables and the form of the relationship is known. Nonparametric regression methods are applied in cases where the relationship type is not known or assumptions cannot be provided. However, when there is more than one independent variable, some of the independent variables may be in a linear relationship with the dependent variable, while some may be in a nonlinear relationship. In order to model these variables, semiparametric regression models, which are a combination of parametric and nonparametric regression methods, are used. In this study parametric, nonparametric and semiparametric regression models, parametric estimates, fit statistical values of the models, confidence intervals and standard error values were calculated. As a result of the analysis, the parameters of the milking unit and the quarantine area among the parametric variables, the operation area, the ventilation area, the number of ventilation, the quarantine area, the infirmary area, the manure pit and the distance to the center among the non-parametric variables were found to be statistically very important (P<0.01). As a result, it was concluded that the correct definition of the variables (parametric and non-parametric) that are effective in determining the operating cost of agricultural enterprises and consequently the sales price, and the selection of the appropriate model are extremely important and that semiparametric models can be used easily in this field.
