Forecasting number of trees in a stand over diameter classes is customarily done through the use of probability density functions. Many distributions have been utilized such as the beta, weibull, gama and lognormal.. Hafley and Schreuder examined the skewness and kurtosis of various statisitcal distributions as a measure of the flexibility of the distributions in reguard to their change in shape.
