Equation

As printed (Eq. 2, p. 232)

Ln (Yi) = B0+ B1Ln(X1i) ± Ln(Ɛi)

In this library's units, ready to compute (m³)

Total volume = exp(-9.56819 + 2.69739 * ln(D))
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

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.
