چکیده
We provide here our response to Zeide (2010) comment (Zeide, B. 2010. Using strong inference to falsify differential equation models of sugar maple height growth—Discussion. MCFNS 2(1):12-14) on our earlier article of the same title.

Using strong inference to falsify differential equation models of sugar maple height growth - Discussion
Leary and Johannsen (2010; Leary and Johannsen. 2010. Using strong inference to falsify differential equation models of sugar maple height growth. MCFNS 2(1):1-11) envision growth modeling as a search for a single precise line like those depicting the laws of physics. However, it is unlikely that such a complex process as tree growth can be captured by our simple, usually empirical models. Inst...
متن کاملUsing strong inference to falsify differential equation models of sugar maple height growth
Platt’s research strategy called ‘strong inference’ is often studied, but is difficult to apply. Here strong inference is applied in selecting differential equation models of sugar maple, Acer saccharum M., height growth. Two model groups proposed by Zeide (1993; Zeide, B. 1993. Analysis of growth equations. For. Sci. 39(3):594-616.) are supplemented with two additional groups, 1) size decline ...
متن کاملAge-varying bivariate distribution models for growth prediction
Height-diameter models are classically analyzed by fixed or mixed linear and non-linear regression models. In order to possess the among-plot variability, we propose stochastic differential equations that are deduced from the standard deterministic dynamic ordinary differential equations by adding the process variability to the growth dynamic. The advantage of the stochastic differential equati...
متن کاملStochastic differential equation approach of height-diameter equations of individual trees
In this paper we use a stochastic differential equation to describe the dynamic evolution of the height of an individual tree. The first model is defined by Gompertz shape stochastic differential equation. The second model is defined by Gompertz stochastic differential equation with a threshold parameter. This model can be considered as an extension of the three parameter stochastic Gompertz mo...
متن کاملرابطه رشد نهال افرا پلت (Acer velutinum Boiss) با ویژگیهای برگ
In order to predict Caucasian maple (Acer velutinum Boiss. ) seedling growth based on nursery Orimel, Eighty six one year old seedlings located at 1550 meters above sea level in Sari, north of Iran were randomly selected. Collar diameter, height, leaf area, photosynthesis area and leaf area/leaf weight ratio were determined. Then multivariate regression models between leaf characteristics and g...
