• Fitting irregular diameter distributions of forest stands by Weibull, modified Weibull, and mixture Weibull models (2006, methodology): “…finite mixture of Weibull functions has been utilized to model the multimodal structure of mixed-species stands, highly skewed and irregular shapes of uneven-aged stands, and rotated sigmoid diameter distribution of old-growth stands (Zhang et al. 2001; Liu et al. 2002; Zasada and Cieszewski 2005).”
• Rotated sigmoid structures in managed uneven-aged northern hardwood stands: a look at the Burr Type III distribution (2008, methodology): “It should be noted, however, that Zasada and Cieszewski (2005) were unable to use the Weibull distribution as a component model for their unimodal stands because the estimation method used, which attempts to estimate the means and standard deviations of the component PDFs rather than estimate the…”
