Recommended by the authors for simplicity with M1. Multi-stem trees combine stems as in the paper (Eq. 1). Adjusted R2 0.941. The fits were done on ln-transformed data and the paper says predictions were back-transformed with a correction factor (CF from RSE) for its error statistics, but it does not print the CF or say whether the tabulated a already includes it; no cf is entered. Adjusted R2 is given in the notes, not fit.r2, because it is adjusted."}
