Improving Woody Biomass Estimation Efficiency Using Double Sampling
Although double sampling has been shown to be an effective method to estimate timber volume in forest inventories, only a limited body of research has tested the effectiveness of double sampling on forest biomass estimation. From forest biomass inventories collected over 9,683 ha using systematic point sampling, we examined how a double sampling scheme would have affected precision and efficien...
متن کاملAn Integer Programming Formulation Applied to Optimum Allocation in Multivariate Stratified Sampling
The problem of optimal allocation of samples in surveys using a stratified sampling plan was first discussed by Neyman in 1934. Since then, many researchers have studied the problem of the sample allocation in multivariate surveys and several methods have been proposed. Basically, these methods are divided into two class: The first involves forming a weighted average of the stratum variances an...
متن کاملEstimation of Forest Biomass Using Multivariate
The objective of this study is to develop a method based on multivariate relevance vector regression (MVRVR) as a kernel-based Bayesian model for the estimation of above-ground biomass (AGB) in the Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Field AGB data from the Hyrcanian forests and multi-temporal PALSAR backscatter values are used for training and testing the methods. The results of the MVRVR method are th...
متن کاملNear Optimum Sampling for Single Tone Frequency Estimation
Work on single tone frequency estimation has focused on uniformly sampled data. However, it has been shown that, for a given number of samples, more information on the frequency of a signal can be gained by non-uniform sampling schemes. Unfortunately, an optimum sampling pattern (that, for example, minimizes the Cramér-Rao bound) does not automatically have a fast and simple algorithm for frequ...
متن کاملSampling Strategies for Efficient Estimation of Tree Foliage Biomass
Conifer crowns can be highly variable both within and between trees, particularly with respect to foliage biomass and leaf area. A variety of sampling schemes have been used to estimate biomass and leaf area at the individual tree and stand scales. Rarely has the effectiveness of these sampling schemes been compared across stands or even across species. In addition, sample size estimates for ac...
