Table 2 Degree of variance explained by the stand delineation (between-stand variation/total variation) and other statistics for the stand delineation. R2 of variables used in stand delineation are in italics. The values of the criterion variables used in parameter optimization are shown in boldface. The objective function value of the optimization is also in boldface
