Model-based inference for biomass estimation in a LiDAR sample survey in Hedmark County, Norway [PDF]
, 2011 In forest inventories, regression models are often applied to predict quantities such as biomass at the level of sampling units. In this paper, we propose a model-based inference framework for combining sampling and model errors in the variance ...
