A package for various forest mensuration and biometrics functions in Julia
ForestBiometrics.jl is a package for working with forest measurements data and growth and yield modeling. This package was inspired by its R counterpart, the lmfor package with the addition of equations from the western US. For more info on lmfor, please see http://cs.uef.fi/~lamehtat/rcodes.htm
It is my hope that the package not only ports existing functionality from other langauges, but also showcases the abilities of Julia as a programming language and how concepts like multiple dispatch and metaprogramming can be used to solve domain-specific problems.
Pkg.add("ForestBiometrics")
If you are interested in this package and would like to contribute, please submit an issue or pull request.
As previously mentioned, it is my hope that this package will not only provide functionality but also be used to examine Julia in the context of forestry specific use cases.
The following Julia packages are used in this package:
Plots.jl and StatPlot.jl and GR.jl for graphics
DataFrames.jl mainly for making Gingrich stocking charts
OffsetArrays.jl for creating lookup tables for Scribner Decimal C scaling
Gingrich stocking guides
SDI chart with lines at 100%, 55% and 35% max SDI
Walkthroughs
I am creating a series of short examples walking through topical problems and how this package can be used to solve those problems. They can be found in this repo under examples/walkthroughs or from the links below.
