Abstract

Regression equations for volume by region and site class were examined for lobiolly pine. The regressions for the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions had significantly different slopes. The results shared important practical differences in percentage of confidence intervals containing the true total volume and in percentage of estimates within a specific proportion of the true total In a simulation study.

Keywords

Mensuration, lobiolly pine, practical differences, statistical differences, weighted regression equations
