Robust model-based sampling designs
I will describe some work currently being carried out with Alan Welsh at Australian National University. The problem addressed is to draw a sample, from which to estimate a population total. The data are completely known covariates, to which the unknown response variable is related. Difficulties to be overcome are that the relationship between these variables is only approximately, and perhaps ...
متن کاملRobust model-based stratification sampling designs
Abstract: We address the resistance, somewhat pervasive within the sampling community, to model-based methods. We do this by introducing notions of “approximate models” and then deriving sampling methods which are robust to model misspecification within neighbourhoods of the sampler’s approximate, working model. Specifically we study robust sampling designs for model-based stratification, when ...
متن کاملZigzag 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 کاملRobust Methods in Acceptance Sampling
• In the quality control of a production process (of goods or services), from a statistical point of view, the focus is either on the process itself with application of Statistical Process Control or on its frontiers, with application of Acceptance Sampling (AS) and Experimental Design. AS is used to inspect either the process output (final product) or the process input (raw material). The purp...
متن کاملApplication of adaptive sampling in fishery part 1: Adaptive cluster sampling and its strip designs
Abstract: The precision of conventional sampling designs is not usually satisfactory for estimating parameters of clump and rare populations. Many of fish species live in school and disperse all over a vast area like a sea so that they are rare compare to their habitats. Theory of a class of sampling designs called adaptive sampling designs has rapidly grown during last decade which solv...
