Weibull diameter distribution function adjusts for electronic spreadsheet

Abstract

This research develops a methodology based on easy and friendly algorithm for spreadsheets, a well known interface for calculus. It aims to present a helpful tool for forestry students, as well as for newly or experienced engineers who haven’t already known adjustment techniques for a density function model of probability, which is useful into diametric distribution structure descriptions of forest population. It has Weibull’s function as main model, percentile as adjustment method, and comparing simulations by Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test. Efficiency of the presented method was tested by comparison to another method.
