Zigzag Survey Designs in Line Transect Sampling
Zigzag survey lines are frequently used in shipboard and aerial line transect surveys of animal populations. Analysis proceeds assuming that coverage probability through the survey region is uniform. We show that the two types of zigzag design that are in wide use do not generally have this property, and explore the degree of bias in abundance estimates that can be anticipated. We construct a z...
متن کاملGuaranteed sensor coverage with the weighted-$D^2$ sampling
In this paper we focus on the mobile sensor coverage problem formulated as a continuous locational optimization problem. Cortès et al. first proposed a distributed version of the Lloyd descent algorithm with guaranteed convergence to a local optima. Since then researchers have studied a number of variations of the coverage problem. The quality of the final solution with the Lloyd descent depend...
متن کاملZigzag transect survey by towed passive acoustic method for finless porpoise in the Yangtze River
Accurate estimation of abundance is one of the most important tasks for conservation and management of the endangered species. However, the population estimation of cetaceans in riverine systems is difficult due to the limited cruise course restricted by shallow water and ship lanes. In the present study, we conducted a zigzag survey trial with towed acoustic system in the main stem of the Yang...
متن کاملGenerating Continuous Surface Probability Maps from Airborne Video Using Two Sampling Intensities A ong the Video Transect
Airborne videography can be an effective tool for assessing the effects of catastrophic events on forest conditions. However, there is some question about the appropriate sampling intensity to use, especially when trying to develop correlations with probabilistic data sets such as are assembled through the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) surveys. We used airborne videography to assess damag...
متن کاملExplicit Formula for Constructing Binomial Confidence Interval with Guaranteed Coverage Probability
In this paper, we derive an explicit formula for constructing the confidence interval of binomial parameter with guaranteed coverage probability. The formula overcomes the limitation of normal approximation which is asymptotic in nature and thus inevitably introduce unknown errors in applications. Moreover, the formula is very tight in comparison with classic Clopper-Pearson’s approach from the...
