Sampling and sampling strategies for environmental analysis
Sampling errors are generally believed to dominate the errors of analytical measurement during the entire environmental data acquisition process. Unfortunately, environmental sampling errors are hardly quantified and documented even though analytical errors are frequently yet improperly reported to the third decimal point in environmental analysis. There is a significant discrepancy in directly...
متن کاملOptimal sampling strategies for two-stage studies.
The optimal allocation of available resources is the concern of every investigator in choosing a study design. The recent development of statistical methods for the analysis of two-stage data makes these study designs attractive for their economy and efficiency. However, little work has been done on deriving two-stage designs that are optimal under the kinds of constraints encountered in practi...
متن کاملModeling sampling strategies for determination of zooplankton abundance in ballast water.
Ballast water has been a major source of non-indigenous species introductions. The International Maritime Organization has proposed performance standard that will establish an upper limit for viable organisms in discharged ballast. Here we test different sampling efforts for zooplankton in ballast water on a commercial vessel. We fit different probability density functions to find the most repr...
متن کاملSampling strategies in nested case-control studies.
A stratified version of nested case-control sampling which we call "countermatching" is presented. This design uses data available for all cohort members to obtain a sample for collecting additional information in a case-control substudy. Hitherto the only stratified sampling design for such studies has involved matching of controls to cases with respect to confounding variables. However, in so...
متن کاملModified Sampling Strategies Using Correlation Coefficient for Estimating Population Mean
This paper proposes two sampling strategies based on the modified ratio estimator using the population mean of auxiliary variable and population correlation coefficient between the study variable and the auxiliary variable by Singh and Tailor (2003) for estimating the population mean (total) of the study variable in a finite population. A comparative study is made with usual sampling strategies...
