The line intersect estimator used with those … samples requires a measurement of the quadratic mean diameter (QMD). Published information regarding appropriate QMDs by FWD …

Binomial sampling based on the proportion of samples infested was investigated for estimating mean densities of citrus … parameters adequately described a validation data set from a sampling plan consisting of 192 samples. Projections indicated the … fitted parameters would apply to sampling plans with as few as 48 samples, but reducing sample size resulted in an increase …

In this study, we propose a modified balanced … repeated replication estimator of variance (BRR) of a kNN total that performs well in small-area estimation problems and under … both simple random and cluster sampling. The BRR estimate of variance is the sum of variances and covariances of unit …
