Welcome to the FRM 412 Laboratory Page
This page will serve as the online home for laboratory instructions, datasets, field activity guides, R and spreadsheet examples, measurement procedures, and submission reminders for FRM 412. It is currently a starter page and will be improved as the full set of semester laboratory activities is developed.
Statistics Session
Once a week, the class will focus on statistical concepts, data cleaning, exploratory summaries, tables, graphs, statistical tests, and interpretation of results using forestry-related data.
Forest Measurement Session
Once a week, the class will focus on forest measurement skills such as tree measurements, plot-based inventory, timber volume estimation, stand tables, stock tables, and field data quality checking.
| Weekly Component | Frequency | Time | Main Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forestry Statistics Laboratory | Once per week | 3 hours | Data preparation, statistical summaries, contingency tables, statistical inference, and reporting. |
| Forest Measurement Laboratory | Once per week | 3 hours | Field measurements, inventory design, tree and stand computations, and quality control. |
Reserved Space for Laboratory Links
This section is reserved for links to each laboratory activity. Later, each box can be connected to its own page, PDF, dataset, R script, spreadsheet, or online activity.
Suggested future folder structure: stat.rfolledo.com/lab1/, stat.rfolledo.com/lab2/, and so on.
Laboratory Activities Coming Soon
The complete semester laboratory guide will be posted here after the activities, datasets, and instructions are finalized.
