“Boutique” Forestry
The owners of small forests are potential clients for professional forestry services and important constituents who can affect the future of forests and forestry. Unfortunately, many owners of small forests are wary of foresters and many foresters are cautious about practicing forestry on small forests. Nonetheless, we find encouraging evidence that a growing number of forestry professionals are forging positive and profitable relationships with …

RI j ; A Statistic for Reporting Ranked Responses
RIj is a statistic for summarizing survey research questions requesting respondents to rank items. RIj will give the correct answer when the number of ranks is less than the number of items, has a more understandable interpretation than mean rank for the uninitiated or casual reader, and allows expanding the domain of items in questions while maintaining or improving response rates and reliability
Statistical microcomputing
With the introduction of the microcomputer, sophisticated statistical computing can now be done at a person's desk. However, since the microcomputing environment is a subset of the mainframe environment, there exist limitations to statistical microcomputing, such as precision and processing efficiency. However, the microcomputer does offer advantages for statistical computing if the statistical software for microcomputers exhibits certain charact…
On the Law of Comparative Judgment
Intransitivities in observers' preference judgments for multidimensional natural landscape scenes are examined. Thurstone's Law of Comparative Judgment (LCJ) psychophysical scaling routine is used to scale landscape preference. Both the method of Rank Ordering (RO) and the method of Paired Comparisons (PC) are used to gather the raw data necessary for scaling. The preference metric derived from the PC data which allows intransitivities to occur, …
Multi‐stage sampling of recreationists
Simulated unequal probability samples were drawn from a known population to compare with‐replacement and without‐re‐placement sampling procedures. Results indicate that the gains in variance from without‐replacement sampling are not sufficient to offset the computational difficulties
The Specification of a Non-Linear Psychophysical Function for Visual Landscape Dimensions
The existence of a comprehensive stimulus-response function describing people's landscape preferences is proposed. Psychometric theory indicating a standard logarithmic function is supported by three studies on human response to variation in specific dimensions of landscapes. In addition to specifying the shape of the function, the research supports the interpretation of the slope of the curve as a measure of people's sensitivity to changes in la…
Manipulation of dimensionality in landscape preference judgments
A Paired Comparison Methodology was used to scale preferences for landscapes depicted in 35mm color slides. Several S groups, varying in their familiarity with forestry, evaluated a series of photographically controlled forest scenes with various levels of insect damage. Some Ss were told a priori that insect damage was present (experimental), others were not (control). The objective was to see if experimental Ss would cue on a single "damage dim…
Seasonality bias in landscape preference research
Little attention has been paid to potential seasonality biases in landscape preference research using photographic simulations. This paper presents findings that substantiate the hypothesis that there is an interaction between the season in which photographs are taken and the season in which they are evaluated. This interaction may partially invalidate research in which it occurs. Using nine unspectacular landscapes, four of which had fall colora…
