Estimating Individual Tree Growth with the k-Nearest Neighbour and k-Most Similar Neighbour Methods
The purpose of this study was to examine the use of non-parametric methods in estimating tree level growth models. In non-parametric methods the growth of a tree is predicted as a weighted average of the values of neighbouring observations. The selection of the nearest neighbours is based on the differences between tree and stand level characteristics of the target tree and the neighbours. The ...
متن کاملBalanced Repeated Replication for Stratified Multistage Survey Data under Imputation
Balanced repeated replication (BRR) is a popular method for variance estimation in surveys. The standard BRR method works by rst creating a set of \balanced" pseudo-replicated data sets from the original data set. For a survey estimator ^ , the BRR variance estimator is the average of squared deviations ^ (r) ? ^ , where ^ (r) is the same as ^ but based on the data in the rth pseudo-replicated ...
متن کاملThe analysis of stratified 2 x 2 contingency tables.
We consider the problem of testing for independence against the consistent superiority of one treatment over another when the response variable is binary and is compared across two treatments in each of several strata. Specifically, we consider the randomized clinical trial setting. A number of issues arise in this context. First, should tables be combined if there are small or zero margins? Se...
متن کاملA Comparison of Selection at List Time and Time-Stratified Sampling for Estimating Suspended Sediment Loads
Time-stratified sampling of sediment for estimating suspended load is introduced and compared to selection at list time (SALT) sampling. Both methods provide unbiased estimates of load and variance. The magnitude of the variance of the two methods is compared using five storm populations of suspended sediment flux derived from turbidity data. Under like conditions, the SALT coefficient of varia...
متن کاملStratified , Weak Stratified , and Three - valued Semantics ∗
We investigate the relationship between three-valued Kripke/Kleene semantics and stratified semantics for stratifiable logic programs. We first show these are compatible, in the sense that if the three-valued semantics assigns a classical truth value, the stratified approach will assign the same value. Next, the familiar fixed point semantics for pure Horn clause programs gives both smallest an...
