Common use of Final Selected Models Clause in Contracts

Final Selected Models. The results reported here are for ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ height (see Glossary Section for equation and further details) and mean height. ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ height weights the contribution of trees to the stand height by their basal area. ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ height is more stable than an unweighted mean height because it is less affected by mortality and harvesting of the smaller trees. R2 and RMSE values for models with transformed dependent variables have been back-transformed where necessary. The comprehensive modeling approach described here may not identify the absolute ‘best’ model. However, the final selected models should be close to the ‘best’, and are similar in performance to other work in the literature. The applicability of landscape level analysis with these types of dynamic models is shown in Figure 13.
