THIERSCH, Monica Fabiana Bento Moreira. Bayesian approach for nonlinear regressian models used in forest biometrics. 2010. 162p. Monograph (Doutorado) Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação, Universidade de São Paulo, São Carlos, 2010. In this work we propose a Bayesian approach to solve the inference problem with restriction on parameters for the models of Petterson, Prodan, Stofel and Curtis used to represent the hypsometric relationship in clones of Eucalyptus sp. We consider four different prior probability densities, the non informative Jeffreys’ prior, a vague prior with flat normal probability density, a prior constructed empirically and a power prior density. The Bayesian estimates were calculated using the Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) simulation technique. The proposed methods were applied to several real data sets and the results were compared to those obtained with the maximum likelihood estimators. The results obtained with a non informative prior and prior vague showed similar results to those found with the maximum likelihood estimators, but, for various data sets, the estimates did not show biological coherence. In turn, the methods a prior empirical informative and a prior power, always produce biologically consistent results, regardless of the behavior of the data in the plot, highlighting the superiority of this approach.
