Description: The equations presented allow the estimation of quality and quantity of logs produced from a hardwood stand based on cruise data. When packaged in appropriate computer software, the information will provide the mill manager with the means to estimate the value of logs that would be added to a mill yard inventory from a timber sale.

Keywords: multivariate regression; discriminant functions
