Equation
As printed (Eq. 1, p. 232)
Ln (Yi) = B0+ B1Ln(X1i) + B2Ln(X2i) ± Ln (Ɛi)
In this library's units, ready to compute (m³)
Total volume = exp(-9.76984 + 2.42049 * ln(D) + 0.48733 * ln(H))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Natural-log model as printed; the paper states no back-transformation correction factor, so none is applied. Volume is total volume with bark. Ht is total height. R² is the adjusted R² from the OLS rows (the paper leaves it blank for GP). The 868 trees were split into 696 for fitting and 172 for validation.

On every build, the library's form and the paper's own form (in its units) must both give these values within 1%.
| Inputs | Expected | We get | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| D = 10, H = 5 | 0.033 | 0.033 | Computed from the printed form computed from the Table 2 coefficients |
| D = 20, H = 8 | 0.222 | 0.222 | Computed from the printed form computed from the Table 2 coefficients |
