A comparative study of regression methods to predict forest structure and canopy fuel variables from LiDAR full-waveform data

Regression methods are widely employed in forestry to predict and map structure and canopy fuel variables. We present a study where several regression models (linear, non-linear, regression trees and ensemble) were assessed. Independent variables were calculated using metrics extracted from full-wav...
