Estimating individual tree growth with the k-nearest neighbour and k-Most Similar Neighbour methods
The purpose of this study was to examine the use of non-parametric methods in estimating tree level growth models. In non-parametric methods the growth of a tree is predicted as a weighted average of the values of neighbouring observations. The selection of the nearest neighbours is b...
