Overcoming data sparseness and parametric constraints in modeling of tree mortality: a new nonparametric Bayesian model

Accurately describing patterns of tree mortality is central to understanding forest dynamics and is important for both management and ecological inference. However, for many tree species, annual survival of most individuals is high, so that mortality is rare and, therefore, difficult to estimate. Fu...
