“…The four most common empirical HSI models, namely the continued product model (CPM) (Grebenkov et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2009), arithmetic mean model (AMM) Tian et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2010), geometric mean model (GMM) (Lauver et al, 2002;Tian et al, 2009), and minimum model (MINM) (Van Der Lee et al, 2006), were used to construct an optimal HSI model as follows.…”
