Environmental Monitoring and Assessment 105: 391-410. 2002. An inverse gaussian distribution of tree frequencies based on tree size. Environmental and Ecological Statistics 9: 27-42. 2002. Evaluation of probability proportional to predictions estimators of total stem volume. Canadian Journal of Forest Research 32: 92-102. 1999.
