Abstract
Abstract
This chapter discusses statistical estimation used in forestry, which can be classified as either point estimation or interval estimation. A point estimate is a single numeric value calculated from the information in a sample. An interval estimate yields two numeric values, between which we can reliably expect to find the target parameter.
