Bucking into a distribution of stumpage and selection of stands
for felling
Bucking into a distribution, in addition to maximation of the
value requires that the logs meet the given distribution as to
length, diameter and quality class provided. Traditional approaches
to this problem are connected either to operation analysis or
supervision through modification of value tables. The present
research makes use not only of the approaches mentioned above
but also of the theory of stochastic processes. The doctoral dissertation
by Kimmo Vattulainen (see Enclosure 4) addresses this subject.
