his paner leals with the possibility of applying 
Landes data in the estimation of forest timber vo- 
lumes. 
The EPDCS system was used for MSS data processing. 
The seore model, a new ouantization method in which 
interactions are considered, was adopted in such a 
way as to make possible the use of MSS data and some 
grouni tru data. 
The nrocadures followed are lis;ed 5elow:

stands) and age has (youne, middle-aged and old 
gtands). The timber volume in each training sample 
vas measured out.
