Estimativa de crescimento em altura de Leucena [Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit.] por meio do modelo ARIMA

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to use models ARIMA to adjust the estimates of growth in height of leucaena ( emph () Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit.) Agreste of Pernambuco. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Station Company Research Pernambuco Agropecuária - IPA, the municipality of Caruaru - PE. 544 trees were used to leucaena variety, of Hawaii (cv. K8), divided into 24 treatments with 24 repetitions. The sources of variations were: levels of phosphorus, organic compounds and urban waste inoculation with rhizobia (NFB 466 and 473) applied alone. Were considered for this study 5 years of measurements and used the Chapman-Richards model to remove the trend in the series study, after removal of the new trend set S(t) was modeled using models ARIMA (1,1,0), (1,1,1) (1,1,2) and (1,1,3). However, the results were not superior to traditional non-linear models, often used in modeling the growth of forests.
