The species are koa ( Acacia koa), ohis (Metro- .. first multivariate sideros polymorpha ). robusta eucalyptus (EucaJyptus robusta), and equations d eveloped saligna ( E. sa lj~na). The four independent variables us ed are d.b.h., merchantable l ength , form class, and DAVID A.SHARPNACK the diameter at th e top of the mer chantable length. I n making volume predictions, foresters often need estimates for portions of trees as well as whole trees. Such volume equations are available for the first time for four Hawaii hardwoods. The four species are; koa (Acacia koa) , ohia (Metrosideros poLymorpha) , robusta eucalyptus (EucaLyptus robusta) , and saligna eucalyptus (E. saLigna). The equations were developed for predicting the board-foot (Int. 1/4 - inch rul e) and cubic foot volume in each B.IS-foot section of a tree. To develop these equations, it was necessary to find a predictor for a set of interdependent variables (section volumes) based on another set of variables (tree measurements) . The usual method of solving this problem is to construct taper curves. This approach is useful if one aim of the equations is to determine the distribution of log volumes by small end diameter class. But nothing is to be gained by making two predictions when one will be enough. Instead of predicting log diameters and using these data to predict volumes , we predict volumes directly. To do so, we would find a separate univariate multiple regress ion for predicting volume in each section of a tree. When section volumes are added Forest Service - U. S. up to give total tree volume, however, no estimate of the variance of each prediction could be made unless the interdependence of section volumes in a single tree is ignored. This interdependence can be handled in the multivariate regression framework used in this study.

IJ P q e N The trees In the first set of data had diameters measured at stump, breast height, and top of fIrst 16.3foot log by steel tape. The rest of the logs were measured with a Relaskop with the distance to the tree measured with a steel tape. The trees in the second set were measured with a Barr &Stroud optical dendrometer. 2 Data from both sets were processed by Grosenbaugh's STX computer program. 3 A special subroutine of STX, ~~4S, interpolated between measurement pOInts to find the diameter at the top of each 8.lS-foot log section . The subroutine also found the top of the merchantable bole when this was not determined in the field. The board-foot and cubic-foot volume were then calculated from these diameter and length measurements . k = 1,2, . .. ,N. The Y. for top sections of trees which ar~ shorter than the tallest tree of the species are set equal to zero. Data Col lection and Process i ng Two sets of data were collected. The trees in each set were selected in the same way, but were measured with different instruments .

IN *w A -3- I is 1Jthe determinant of the matrix of sum of products of residuals about the regression surface using the 8 .. of the null hypothesis. 1J If we set 8. = 8. ~ . . . = 8. = 0 for each i as t~e nul! hypothesi~~ then the estimate of 8'0 is the mean of the Y. . The U stat i~ tic is then somewhat k analogous to the univariate ratio of residual sum of squares to the total sum of sq~ares. In fact, if p = 1, U = 1 - R. The smaller the value of U becomes, the larger the percentage reduction of variance about the regression line as compared to the variance about the mean. No hypotheses were tested . The model with the smaller value of U is considered the better model. Weighted regression was used because the generalized variance of the residu2ls within subgroups increased as DBH • H increased. The first set of weights used was from Gedney and Johnson. S Because these weights eliminated the trend of the variance in all species, no further weights were sought. The dendrometer data were used to calculate regression coefficients for all species in models I and 2 (table 2). The number of observations and the number of dependent variables (p) used for each species are also shown in the table. Form class appears to be an important variable. The U values for model 2 are smaller by almost a factor of 10 than those for model 1. Since the computations took a large amount of computer time, the pooled data were first used for only four model-species combinations (table 3). The pattern of U values is similar to that found in table 2. From the above results model 3 was formulated . Again only a few model-species regressions were calculated. Because model 3 appeared better than either models 1 or 2, only the remaining model 3 regressions were run (table 4). Tables 6 to 13 give the estimated regression coefficients (~ . . ) for predicting board foot and E6b1C foot volumes for B. IS-foot sections of trees of the four species . The final row of each table gives the coefficients for predicting total tree volume. These coefficients p A equal .f18 . . for each j. They are also tfie e~timated coeff1cients of model 3*. Model 3* has the same independent variables as model 3 but only one dependent variable, Y = P .E IY . . These univariate regressions 1= l. were calculated for board foot and cubic foot volume f2r each species. Table S gives the R 's for these regressions and the weighted standard error in percent. That is, percent S.E. = lOOx (weighted standard deviation of residuals/weighted mean of To further compare the models, the residuals of the Relaskop data about the surface estimated by the dendrometer data were found for three modelspecies combinations. Their U values were .692, .749, and 3 . 024. The last of these--ohia (model la)--indicates that the mean of Y. of the Relaskop 1 SGedney , Donald R data would make a better predictor for section volume in these trees than the regression surface estimated f r om the dendrometer data. All three values indicate that the two samples probably differ. Both samples were from the population for which predictions were wanted. Either the samples are from different subpopulations or this difference is due to sampling error. In either case I think the best predictive ability can be obtained by pooling the data to estimate the coeffiC1ents for the whole population. Y). and Johnson Floyd A.

Excluding portions at the upper end of the stem should be done by shortening H, changing TOIB, and then predictlng total tree volume. For example . if the top 8.15-foot section of the above koa were cull, the net tree volume would be estimated by calculating H as 57.0 - 8 . 15 = 48.85 feet. If the top section had a linch taper, the TDIB at 48 . 85 feet would be 11 inches . The volume would then be predicted by the equation: model 3 along with the measurements of the independent varlables . For example, to predict the board foot volume in the first 1/2 log of a 24-inch d.b.h. 57 foot koa with a form class of .75 and a 10-inch TOIB, we use the first row of coefficients ln table 6 to get the followlng equation: VI = 95.82708 T T 10 . 18193 x 24 . 171 71 x 10.0 ; . 00285 x 242 2 x 57 . 0 x .75 T .00270 x 10 x 57.0 x .75 + 31 . 1948 x .75 - 1 . 216054 x 57 . 0 = 186.1 VT' 98.0369 + 14.5390 x 24 - 10.9328 x 11 + .0175 x 242 bd. ft. To predict the total volume of the same tree, the last row of coefficients in table 6 lS used as follows: V = - 98.0469 + 14.5390 x 24 T - 10 . 9328 x 10 + .0175 x 242 2 x 57.0 x .75 + .0285 x 10 x 57.0 x . 75 =- + - 2 . 4364 x 57.0 85.4659 x .75 = 619.54 bd. ft. If the first half log is cull, the net board foot volume of the tree is VT - VI = 619.5 - 186.1 = 433.4 bd. ft . This koa, without any cull, has 7 sections. Therefore an unblased estimate of total tree volume could be obtained by summing the predicted section volumes from the first seven equations. The model glves zero volume to sections not present, however, because the tree is shorter than the tallest tree in the species. For this reason the total volume equation for all koa trees is the sum of the 10 section equations . The average error will be smaller uSlng the total volume equation than by using the sum of j equations for trees with j sections . x 48.85 x .75 + . 0285 x 112 x 48.85 x . 75 + 85.4659 x .75 - 2.4364 x 48.85 = 569.25 bd. ft. This procedure is opposite to the usual one ln which full height to a specified top is used to get the proper amount of taper. H can be changed in the present case because TOIB is one of the variables in the prediction equation. The change is necessary because the error in predicting section volumes becomes larger as section number increases. There is less error in predicting the short tree volume than in predicting the difference in volume between the tall tree and its top sectlon. To find the total volume of a group of trees or sectlons WhlCh use the same set of regression coefficients, the following form of the equatlon slmplifies calculation: n k~lYk= aO+ ai n • n kh Hk In general, to predict volume for a large portion of a tree, the excluded portion should be predicted and • H k -6- TOIB + k a'3 • + a'4 . FC k + as FC k n kh n kh n . kh OBH 2 k TDIB~ FC k T a6 . n kh Hk in which the subscript k indicates the measurement in the kth tree in a group of n trees. The a! are the 1i' . that 1 apply to the parti~ular group 6f trees. this l eaves is TDIB. TDIB was used to explain a source of variation which is poorly correlated with DBH. The size of TDIB, along with H, reflects the breakup of the main bole into small branches. In fact, the correlation between DBH and TDIB is less than 0.5. Therefore , using average TDIB per DBH is not reasonable. It should also be noted that the residual variance is quite large. Although the regressions explain a large proportion of the original variance, the original variance is very large. The variables used reduced the residual variance by a significant amount. To illustrate how the volumes vary with changes in variables, a small portion of a volume table is given in table 14. Because of the number and range of the independent variables, the construction of a complete volume table is impractical; a complete table for all four species would take nearly 5 , 000 pages. The possibility of making a condensed table by using average values per DBH class of one variable was considered, but was discarded because none of the measured variables was suitable for elimination in this way . H is obviously too important a variable to use average H per DBH class. Form class was shown earlier to reduce residual variance by a factor of almost 10. The only measured variable A procedure for estimating the variances of the predlcted volumes of parts of trees, trees, and groups of trees is now being developed.
