A random spatial sampling method in a rural developing nation
BACKGROUND Nonrandom sampling of populations in developing nations has limitations and can inaccurately estimate health phenomena, especially among hard-to-reach populations such as rural residents. However, random sampling of rural populations in developing nations can be challenged by incomplete enumeration of the base population. METHODS We describe a stratified random sampling method usin...
متن کاملDBRS: A Density-Based Spatial Clustering Method with Random Sampling
When analyzing spatial databases or other datasets with spatial attributes, one frequently wants to cluster the data according to spatial attributes. In this paper, we describe a novel density-based spatial clustering method called DBRS. The algorithm can identify clusters of widely varying shapes, clusters of varying densities, clusters which depend on non-spatial attributes, and approximate c...
متن کاملA Block-Wise random sampling approach: Compressed sensing problem
The focus of this paper is to consider the compressed sensing problem. It is stated that the compressed sensing theory, under certain conditions, helps relax the Nyquist sampling theory and takes smaller samples. One of the important tasks in this theory is to carefully design measurement matrix (sampling operator). Most existing methods in the literature attempt to optimize a randomly initiali...
متن کاملAn interdisciplinary clinic in rural Tanzania - observations on chiropractic care in a developing nation.
It appears that a great many chiropractors and chiropractic institutions are involved in health care initiatives in developing countries. Developing nations present extraordinary opportunities to do good, but also carry risks, for practitioners and organizations, which may not be obvious prior to actual local engagement. This paper describes the guiding principles under which one international ...
متن کاملA New Exponential Type Estimator for the Population Mean in Simple Random Sampling
In this paper, a new estimate of exponential type of auxiliary information to help simple random sampling without replacement of the finite population mean is introduced. This new estimator with a few other estimates using two real data sets are compared with the mean square error.
