Sampling Techniques for Spatial Domains (Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics)

Providing a single source of sample survey designs currently in use for spatial and spatial-temporal studies, Sampling Techniques for Spatial Domains gathers a large body of research in one comprehensive book. Each chapter presents a particular method of sampling, followed by discussion of the optimal strategies used in the sampling effort. The author addresses classical approaches as well as many of the new research methods in this field. She also offers recommendations for sampling strategies that are suitable for model-based estimation. She uses R throughout and provides the code on the book’s website.
