Bud burst of birch in Finland and the United Kingdom - Logistic regression analysis and modeling
The day of bud burst (DBB) of different tree species are known to be affected by factors such as growing degree days and temperature. In this paper a two state Markov chain is used to model DBB for birch. The model is fit using logistic regression and LASSO regularization is used to evaluate which of many potential factors best forecast DBB. Data of birch from both Finland and the United Kingdom i
