Excerpt from Computing Average Log Values for Timber Appraisals Using Ibm 650 or Univac Solid State 80 Computers
A necessary part of most timber appraisals is to determine the relationship between average Value per board feet and scaling dia meter for logs of known log grades. In the past, this average value has been determined by first computing the values per board feet for individual logs of known diameter and log grade and then relating these values, usually graphically, to any log diameter. The plotted data ordinarily vary a good deal. Therefore, to prepare tables of average log value, it is necessary to eliminate the variation by fitting smooth curves to the data and determining values directly from.the curves.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a groundbreaking method for determining the relationship between a log's scaling diameter and its average value per board foot. Prior to this, the value was estimated graphically, which led to much variance. However, the author suggests computing regressions to link individual log volume and value to log scaling diameter. This method is more accurate and reliable, as it involves fitting smooth curves to the data and determining values directly from the curves. The author discusses the advantages of this method, providing computer programs that can be used to perform the calculations, and offers sample input and output cards for easy understanding. Ultimately, this book is a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance the accuracy of their timber appraisals.
