ABSTRACT
Several non-linear models have been proposed by various authors for the
analysis of growth data. I n this thesis, three models, viz, Gompertz, Exponential and
Polynomial models were used to analyze some forestry data, namely, a tree specie
known as Tectona Grandis, collected in the Guinea savanna zone of Nigeria. The
three models were compared and using the criteria of low mean square error and high
coefficient of determination, it was found that the Gompertz model fits the data best,
especially considering the relationships of height on age and total volume on age.
