Remote sensing to reduce the effects of spatial autocorrelation on design-based inference for forest inventory using systematic samples
Chad Babcock, Andrew O. Finley, Timothy G. Gregoire +1
Systematic sampling is often used to select plot locations for forest inventory estimation. However, it is not possible to derive a design-unbiased variance estimator for a systema…
