Table 4 Parameter estimates for the transition functions in mortality and in basal area (Equations 4 and 12, respectively) obtained by fitting the models simultaneously

Model	Parameter	Estimate	RMSE	Adjusted model efficiency
Equation (4) $\frac{a_{2} + 1}{1 - a_{3}} = 2$ *	a ₁	1.67 × 10⁻⁸	38.3550	0.9877
	a ₂	1.8703
	a ₃	2.4352
	rho	0.0684
Equation (12)	k	0.4*	0.5731	0.9937
	c ₁	0.1*
	b ₁	0.1663
	rho	0.0504

The goodness-of-fit-statistics were calculated without considering the initialized point at breast height.
*indicated the parameter value was fixed in the model, therefore, it was not estimated.
