A quantile regression approach to model stand survival in Chinese fir plantations

The development of stand survival models can provide an important basis for the sustainable management of forest re-sources.In a new approach developed in this study,parameters of four survival quantile regression models were predicted from a quantile associated with a current stand density.The curves from these quantile regression models were then used to project future stand density for that stand.A three-fold cross-validation revealed that the quantile re…查看全部>>
