Stem taper functions for maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) in Galicia (Northwestern Spain) (2005, methodology): “In general, the variable-form models showed the best results, therefore, the four best variableform taper equations (Kozak 1988; Riemer et al. 1995; Bi 2000 and Kozak 2004), the best simple taper function (Cervera 1973) and the best segmented model (Max and Burkhart 1976) were selected.”
Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling of variable-exponent taper equations for lodgepole pine in Alberta, Canada (2009, methodology): “To date, parameter estimates for variable-exponent taper functions have been obtained in most cases using ordinary nonlinear least square methods (Kozak 1988, 2004; Huang et al. 1999, 2000; Sharma and Zhang 2004).”
Evaluating marginal and conditional predictions of taper models in the absence of calibration data (2012, background): “(1968), Max and Burkhart (1976), Valenti and Cao (1986), Kozak I (Kozak 2004) 7 Bi (2000), Valentine and Gregoire (2001), Garber and Maguire II (Garber and Maguire 2003) 8 Kozak (1988), Kozak II (Kozak 1997), Muhairwe I (Muhairwe 1999), Muhairwe II (Muhairwe 1999), Garber and Maguire I (Garber and M”
Estimating and predicting bark thickness for seven conifer species in the Acadian Region of North America using a mixed-effects modeling approach: comparison of model forms and subsampling strategies (2011, methodology): “This equation was first proposed by Kozak (2004) and has been identified as one of well-performed stem taper equations in several recent studies (Rojo et al. 2005; Li and Weiskittel 2010).”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, methodology): “The Kozak (2004) taper equation has often been found superior for predicting stem diameters (Rojo et al., 2005) and volume (Li andWeiskittel, 2010).”
Stem taper functions for Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmulleriana in Turkey (2008, methodology): “…these equations provide the estimate of (1) stem diameter at any given stem height, (2) total stem volume, (3) merchantable volume and merchantable height to any top diameter and from any stump height, and (4) individual log volumes of any length at any height from the ground (Kozak, 2004).”
