Abstract

Smoothing a sample-based diameter distribution can provide a potentially better paradigm of a population distribution. Goodness-of-fit comparisons between raw cumulative distribution functions, nonparametric curves and Weibull densities fit to the raw distribution are presented based on two simulated forest stands.
