Parameter Estimation of Weibull Growth Models in Forestry
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to discuss some certain properties of three Weibull growth models in forestry viewpoint. The parameters of these models are estimated using Newton-Raphson iteration method for the mean diameter at breast height data and top height growth data originated from the Bowmont Norway spruce thinning experiment, sample plot 3661. The average height of 12 weeping Higan Cherry trees planted in Washington, D.C. is also used. The initial value specifications of the parameters for use of any iterative methods of estimation are also provided.

Fixed points for α-ᴪ Contractive Mapping in 2-Metric spaces
In this paper, we introduce the notion of α-ᴪ contractive type mappings in 2-metric spaces and establish fixed point theorems for these mappings.
Cech Soft Closure Spaces
The purpose of the present paper is to de ne and study the Cech soft closure spaces on the soft sets over the non-empty set X and discuss some of its properties.
Soft Ideals of a Soft Lattice
soft set theory was introduced by Molodtsov in 1999 as a mathematical tool for dealing with problems that contain uncertainty. Faruk Karaaslan et al.[6] defined the concept of soft lattices, modular soft lattices and dis...
Numerical Comparison of multi-step iterative methods for finding roots of nonlinear equations
—In this paper, we compare different multi-step Newton like methods for solving nonlinear equations. Results are shown in form of iteration tables. Numerical results show that the Modified Shamanskii...
On Predicting the Next Term of a Sequence
When introducing sequences to students, the first skill we teach them is how to predict the next term of a sequence given the first few terms, usually the first three, four or five terms. In this note, we intend to show...
