Analysis of kNN dataset according to its use in wind throw risk simulation by Standio, Bartosz

“…The highest discrepancies between dataset were visible in such elements as: number of points exposed to the wind where traditional dataset was 4,5 times bigger than the kNN; and the total length of exposed stands edges created on base of exposed points was already only twice times bigger. Despite visible differences tested number and length of exposed stands edges in relative comparison draw a similar trend. …”
