Using Nonlinear Mixed Model Technique to Determine the Optimal Tree Height Prediction Model for Black Spruce
Based on the nonlinear mixed model technique, four base height-diameter models were evaluated for black spruce. The Chapman-Richard model was chosen. Top height and basal area were incorporated into the base model. Comparison of the base and expanded models showed that, although the goodness-of-fit measures on the modelling data were improved with the inclusion of top height and basal area, the...
متن کاملthe use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولModeling Individual-Tree Height Prediction for Semi-Evergreen Forest: MultilevelLinear Mixed Effect Model Approach
Individual-tree height models were developed for dipterocarpaceae and nondiptoracarpaceaetree family for semi-evergreen forest in Seam Reap, Cambodia. Tree variables data were collected from long term permanent sample plots for all species. The models were first fitted using multiple linear regressions since it is the most commonly used statistical method in forest modeling. The models then wer...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Application of Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Modeling Approach in Tree Height Prediction
A nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach was used to model the individual tree height–diameter relationship based on Chapman-Richards function for dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii. Rupr.) plantations in northeastern China. The study involved the estimation of fixed and random parameters, as well as procedures for determining random effects variance-covariance matrices to reduce the number of t...
