Sampling Strategies for Natural Resources and the Environment

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Written by renowned experts in the field, Sampling Strategies for Natural Resources and the Environment covers the sampling techniques used by practitioners and researchers in natural resource and environmental disciplines. Designed to be less theoretical in nature than many texts, it provides essential mathematical derivations in the chapter appendices. The book presents unique, detailed treatments of importance sampling, plot sampling, Bitterlich sampling, line intersect sampling, and the edge-effect problem. Other distinguishing features include discussions of randomized branch sampling, ranked set sampling, 3P sampling, and sampling with partial replacement.
