Hierarchical models for small area estimation using zero-inflated forest inventory variables: comparison and implementation
Grayson W. White, Andrew O. Finley, Josh K. Yamamoto +5
National Forest Inventory (NFI) data are typically limited to sparse networks of sample locations due to cost constraints. While design-based estimators provide reliable forest par…
Multivariate spatial models for small area estimation of species-specific forest inventory parameters
Jeffrey W. Doser, Malcolm S. Itter, Grant M. Domke +1
National Forest Inventories (NFIs) provide statistically reliable information on forest resources at national and other large spatial scales. As forest management and conservation…
Leveraging national forest inventory data to estimate forest carbon density status and trends for small areas
Elliot S. Shannon, Andrew O. Finley, Paul B. May +5
National forest inventory (NFI) data are often costly to collect, which inhibits efforts to estimate parameters of interest for small spatial, temporal, or biophysical domains. Tra…
From pixels to parcels: flexible, practical small-area uncertainty estimation for spatial averages obtained from aboveground biomass maps
Lucas K. Johnson, Grant M Domke, Stephen V Stehman +2
Fine-resolution maps of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) effectively represent spatial patterns and can be flexibly aggregated to map subregions by computing spatial averages or to…
