Particle swarm optimization algorithm for parameter estimation in Gamma-Poisson distribution model of k-tree distance

Distance sampling is a flexible and efficient inventory technique in forestry and ecology, especially in highly dense plant communities, and in difficult terrain. Point-to-tree distance or tree-to-tree distance was used to estimate characteristics of the spatial point pattern mapped from particular...
