“…To fit the regression model for the volume equations an ordinary least-squares (OLS) method was used. Because the construction of taper equations requires longitudinal data or multiple measurements on individual trees, and violates the assumption of independence between observations, a mixed effects approach was used to model the within tree autocorrelation. …”
