Title: Comparison of Curves Utilizing a New Method of Small-sample Smoothing with Forestry Application
Author(s): Kathryn Prewitt*+
Companies: Arizona State University
Address: Dept of Math and Statistics, tempe, AZ, 85287, United States
Keywords: function estimtion ; permutation test ; smoothing ; nonparametric ; forestry
Abstract:

The forestry problem involved methods of fire management strategies to see how they affect longterm (decadal to centennial) carbon storage. There were at most only 20 measurements for each method. The goal was to compare the methods. We developed the "rolling marble" method of smoothing and used a permutation test to compare the smoothed curves.
