Evaluating forest growth models
Effective model evaluation is not a single, simple procedure, but comprises several interrelated steps that cannot be separated from each other or from the purpose and process of model construction. We draw attention to several statistical and graphical procedures that may assist in model calibration and evaluation, with special emphasis on those useful in forest growth modelling. We propose a ...
متن کاملEvaluating Multiple Imputation Models for the Southern Annual Forest Inventory
‘Ihe USDA Forest Service’s Southern Research Station is implementing an annualized forest survey in thirteen states. The sample design is a systematic sample of five interpenetrating grids (panels), where each panel is measured sequentially. For example, panel one information is collected in year o n e , and panel five in year five. The area representative and time series nature of the sample d...
متن کاملFOREST: A System for Developing and Evaluating Ecosystem Simulation Models
FOREST is a software environment for designing, implementing, and evaluating ecosystem simulations. Written in Java, it encourages modelers to use an object-oriented design to promote extensibility and model reuse. The paper introduces a new design pattern, called the Event Handler Pattern, that allows modelers to extend an existing class hierarchy without modifying existing code.
متن کاملEvaluating and Optimising Models of Network Growth
This paper presents a statistically sound method for measuring the accuracy with which a probabilistic model reflects the growth of a network, and a method for optimising parameters in such a model. The technique is data-driven, and can be used for the modeling and simulation of any kind of evolving network. The overall framework, a Framework for Evolving Topology Analysis (FETA), is tested on ...
متن کاملEvaluating of Different Height-Diameter Nonlinear Models for Hornbeam in Uneven-Aged Stands (Case Study: Golestan Rezaeian Forest)
Projection of stand development over time relies on accurate height-diameter functions. In this study, we evaluated the capability of 43 nonlinear models to estimate hornbeam heights in a portion Rezaeian experimental forest in Gorgan, Golestan province. We applied a systematic random sampling method to collect field data within a 150×200 meter network (3.33% intensity). It resulted in 200 circ...
