THE METHOD OF STANDING TREES ALLOCATION TO DIFFERENT BIOSOCIAL CLASSES
Journal Title: Colloquium Biometricum; Colloquium Biometricum (Online) - Year 2015, Vol 45, Issue
Abstract
The discriminant analysis method was used for the purpose of allocation trees to Kraft classes. The Scots pine trees were used to determine discriminant functions. Only traits which can be measured on the standing trees were taken into consideration. They included height, breast height diameter inside and without bark, basal area, double bark thickness, 5 and 10 years increment in breast, height diameter, tree slenderness. Some sets of uncorrelated traits were taken into account to select the better discriminant functions guided by the minimum of erroneous classification probability. The discriminant model based on the height, 10-years increment at the breast high diameter, basal area and slenderness, has proven to be the best for grouping the trees.

A REMARK ON ESTIMATING DEFECTIVENESS IN SAMPLING ACCEPTANCE INSPECTION
Summary The problem of estimating a probability of success in a Binomial model is considered. The classical estimator is compared with the estimator which uses the information about non-homogeneity of the sample. An appl...
On the efficiency of orthogonal treatment contrasts in multistratum incomplete split-split-plot designs constructed by square lattice designs
We construct an incomplete split-split-plot design for three factor experiments. The method is based on a semi-Kronecker (Khatri-Rao) product of three matrices. We use two square lattice designs for whole plot treatments...
New test for comparison of binomial proportions: power comparison
In the problem of comparison of two probabilities of success the most widely used test is approximate test based on de Moivre-Laplace theorem. In Jaworski and Zieliński (2017) a new test based on the likelihood ratio was...
STRATUM ANALYSES FOR SPLIT-SPLIT-PLOT DESIGNS GENERATED BY GROUP DIVISIBLE DESIGNS
We present general and particular analyses under a mixed linear model resulting from the construction of a non-orthogonal split-split-plot (SSP) design and proper randomization performed (see, Ambroży and Mejza, 2013). T...
Genotype by environment interaction for length of flowering time in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) using additive main effects and multiplicative interaction model
The objective of this study was to assess genotype by environment interaction for length of flowering time in winter oilseed rape cultivars grown in West Poland by the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction...
