Modeling Diameter Frequency Data

چکیده
Different functions, each in the form of a modified Weibull cumulative distribution function (cdf), were joined together to form a segmented cdfto approximate diameter distributions in forest stands. Estimates of five percentile points (the 0th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th percentiles) were used to determine a segmented cdf. The segmented cdf and the Weibull distribution were fit to diameter data from 252 plot measurements from both thinned and unthinned loblolly pine plantations. Based on the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit statistic, the segmented cdf was found to perform no better than the three-parameter Weibull distribution for data from unthinned stands, but was superior in case of thinned stands. The segmented cdf is very flexible; it should be useful for modeling irregular data such as diameter distributions of thinned stands or mixed stands. FORœST SCL 30:129-137. ADDiTiONAL

Context. The interpretation of stellar pulsations in terms of internal structure depends on the knowledge of the fundamental stellar parameters. Long-base interferometers permit us to determine very accurate stellar radii, which are independent constraints for stellar models that help us to locate the star in the HR diagram. Aims. Using a direct interferometric determination of the angular diam...

متن کاملPopulation Balance Equation Modeling of Crude Oil Demulsification Considering Demulsifier: Modification of Collision Frequency Function Based on Thermodynamic Model
A theoretical model is developed to consider the effect of demulsifier agent on demulsification of water-in-crude oil emulsion. A thermodynamic approach is considered to correlate the critical micelle concentration of a demulsifier to the collision frequency function in population balance equation (PBE). Based on the proposed correlation, the collision frequency function is modified to account ...
