You may find a description of stem analysis procedures in a forest mensuration 
textbook. For example:

Pages 262-264 in "Avery, Thomas Eugene and Burkhart, Harold E. 1983. Forest 
Measurements. 3rd Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York."

Two papers which follow up on the 1987 paper by Dyer and Bailey that Mark Twery 
 mentioned are:
Newberry, James D. 1991. A note on Camean's estimate of height from stem 
analysis data. For. Sci. 37(1):368-369, and

Fabbio, G., Frattegiani, M. and Manetti, M. 1994. Height estimation in stem 
analysis using second differences. For. Sci. 40(2):329-340.

A search of fairly recent literature describing the construction of site index 
curves might also be helpful.
