Nonlinear regression approach to estimating Johnson SB parameters for diameter data by Abd Kudus, Kamziah, Ahmad, M I, Lapongan, Jaffirin

“…The performance of the nonlinear regression method was also investigated by using the real diameter data collected from 20 even-aged sample plots of the Acacia mangium Willd. plantation in Sandakan, Sabah, measured annually from age 2 to 8 years. Goodness-of-fit tests based on empirical distribution function (namely the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic, Cramer- von Mises statistic, and the Anderson-Darling statistic) were used in selecting the most superior parameter estimation method. …”
