Adaptive survey designs for sampling rare and clustered populations
Designing an efficient large-area survey is a challenge, especially in environmental science when many populations are rare and clustered. Adaptive and unequal probability sampling designs are appealing when populations are rare and clustered because survey effort can be targeted to subareas of high interest. For example, higher density subareas are usually of more interest than lower density a...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Sequential Sampling: A Neighborhood-Free Adaptive Sampling Procedure
Designing an efficient sampling scheme for a rare and clustered population is a challenging area of research. Adaptive cluster sampling, which has been shown to be viable for such a population, is based on sampling a neighborhood of units around a unit that meets a specified condition. However, the edge units produced by sampling neighborhoods have proven to limit the efficiency and applicabili...
متن کاملAdaptive Sampling for Clustered Ranking
We consider the problem of sequential or active clustered ranking, where the goal is to sort items according to their means into clusters of pre-specified sizes, by adaptively sampling from their reward distributions. This setting is useful in many social science applications, where an approximate rank of every item is desired. In contrast, a complete ranking of the items requires a large numbe...
متن کاملAn Estimation of the Design Effect for the Two-stage Stratified Cluster Sampling Design
The precision of parameters estimation are determined by the sample size and the sampling design used in a study. Due to such practical constraints as the budget and manpower, most large-scale educational studies would not adopt the simple random sampling design. TIMSS 2007 used a two-stage stratified cluster sampling design. In the first stage, about 150 schools were selected according to some...
متن کاملMetamodel Sensitivity to Sequential Adaptive Sampling in Crashworthiness Design
A study is conducted to determine the sensitivity of 2 topologically distinct metamodel types to variations in the experimental design brought about by sequential adaptive sampling strategies. The study focuses on examples encountered in crashworthiness design. Three sampling strategies are considered for updating the experimental designs, namely (i) a single stage approach, (ii) a sequential a...
