Description for Adaptive Sampling
Hardcover. This book discusses adaptive sampling designs which are used in surveys where data collection requires modification as a result of observations made during the process. The strategies detailed in the book offer solutions to the long-standing problem of estimating the abundance of rare, clustered populations. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 288 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PBT; PBWL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 237 x 165 x 27. Weight in Grams: 560.
Offering a viable solution to the long-standing problem ofestimating the abundance of rare, clustered populations, adaptivesampling designs are rapidly gaining prominence in the natural andsocial sciences as well as in other fields with inherentlydifficult sampling situations. In marked contrast to conventionalsampling designs, in which the entire sample of units to beobserved is fixed prior to the survey, adaptive sampling strategiesallow for increased sampling intensity depending upon observationsmade during the survey. For example, in a survey to assess theabundance of a rare animal species, neighboring sites may be addedto the sample whenever the species is encountered during thesurvey. In an epidemiological ...
