Introduction

Please read the vignette.

#> Correction Factors for Tree Plot Areas Intersected by Stand Boundaries
#> 
#> Description:
#> 
#>      The German national forest inventory uses angle count sampling, a
#>      sampling method first published by Bitterlich (1947) and extended
#>      by Grosenbaugh (1952) as probability proportional to size
#>      sampling. When plots are located near stand boundaries, their
#>      sizes and hence their probabilities need to be corrected.
#> 
#> Details:
#> 
#>      You will find the details in
#>      'vignette("An_Introduction_to_treePlotArea", package =
#>      "treePlotArea")'.
