“…The ANNs presented satisfactory results, indicating that they were adequate and accurate for the proposed estimate and, among the networks, the ANN 4 was the one that presented the best results. Although similarity of RNA 4 was observed, with the results obtained with the tapering function of Kozak (2004) BINOTI et al, 2014;RIBEIRO et al, 2016, LACERDA et al, 2017, de altura (BINOTI et al, 2013;VENDRUSCOLO et al, 2015, do diâmetro relativo e estudo da forma MENDONÇA et al, 2015;SCHIKOWSKI et al, 2015;VENDRUSCOLO et al, 2016;MARTINS et al, 2016;CAMPOS et al, 2017;MARTINS et al, 2017), do diâmetro e altura (VIEIRA et al, 2018), em crescimento e produção (CASTRO et al, 2013;BINOTI et al, 2015).…”
