Conteúdo: 	The least-squares aproximation by a multiple regression approach was used to interpolate the recorded sectional diameters of each tree to their positional diameters at every 0.1 of the total stem length. the general form of the interpolation regression equation was as follows. Where xi is the predicted diameter at zi position. A variance-covariance matrix of positional diameters was constructed to carry out the principal component analysis. The calculation involved in the analysis was to find the roots of an eigen equation of the variance-covariance matrix of the original variates  is equivalent to performing a linear transformation from the set of original variates to the set of new variates. The significance of the newly transformed variates was decided by the ratio of the magnitude of the eigenvalue associated with a particular variate to the sum of all eigenvalues. A significant variate was considered as a principal component in the multivariate analysis. Interpretation of the components was performed by a graphical analysis of corresponding eigenvectors.The trend of mutation of entries of the revealed that the first significant principal stem and was consequently interpred as stem taper. On the other hand, the second and the third significant of the lack of information in the original records. The cumulative percentaje of eigenvalues showed that the first three variates countedfor more than 99 percent of the total variance. A step wise regression procedure was then used to derive polynomial expressions of einvectors to the first three significant variates.The multiple regression modeladopted in this curve-fitting techinique read as folows:were thay are entries of the eigenvector,is the exponent of y and the are the regression coefficients. A correlation analysis between predicted and interpolated diameters was carried out to detect the goodness of fit of the final multivariate prediction function.The correlation indicates the applicability of the costructed taper function.
