Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, methodology): “For example, Leites et al. (2009) found that using imputed rather than measured CR increased the root mean square error by 17 to 49% in predicting 10-year diameter growth.”
Using quadratic mean diameter and relative spacing index to enhance height-diameter and crown ratio models fitted to longitudinal data (2016, background): “For example, height increment (Daniels and Burkhart, 1975), basal area increment (Wykoff, 1990; Monserud and Sterba, 1996; Leites et al., 2009), taper and volume of individual trees (Valenti and Cao, 1986; Jiang et al., 2007; Jiang and Liu, 2011) and survival of an individual tree (Saud et al.,…”
