Abstract
This short communication extends earlier modelling of the tensile strength and failure strain of jute technical fibres. A maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) model, a linear model and a natural logarithmic interpolation model (NLIM) are compared. The NLIM model is found to give superior predictions.
