Abstract

The forest growth model with measurement errors is introduced. The maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) of the parameters of this model are proven to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. The model is applied to the real data from Swedish National Forest Inventory and the MLE of the parameters are obtained
