Abstract: This paper,from two aspects,discussed the internal and external study situation about the model of modeling and prediction of stand diameter structure,summarily indicated that the study of stand diameter structure model was unfolded around two methods of parametric approach and nonparametric approach,mainly introduced a few main modeling and prediction methods like theoretical equation method,k-nearest neighbor estimation method,and a few common evaluation and prediction methods like percentile method and regression method,indicated respectively the advantages and shortages of models and calculation methods of parameters,and discussed present problems and following emphases in studies. This paper,in the view of practical application,aimed to provide a study platform for following studies.
