Determination of Optimal Sampling Design for Spatial Data Analysis

Sensitivity Analysis of Spatial Sampling Designs for Optimal Prediction

In spatial statistic, the data analyzed which is correlated and this correlation is due to their locations in the studied region. Such correlation that is related to distance between observations is called spatial correlation. Usually in spatial data analysis, the prediction of the amount of uncertain quantity in arbitrary 4locations of the area is considered according to attained observations ...

An Optimal Spatial Sampling Design for Social Surveys

Data mining for decision making in engineering optimal design

Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...

Design of Economic Optimal Double Sampling Design with Zero Acceptance Numbers

  In zero acceptance number sampling plans, the sample items of an incoming lot are inspected one by one. The proposed method in this research follows these rules: if the number of nonconforming items in the first sample is equal to zero, the lot is accepted but if the number of nonconforming items is equal to one, then second sample is taken and the policy of zero acceptance number would be ap...

Bayesian Spatial Sampling Design

This paper presents a model-based approach to the problem of the optimal choice of a spatial sampling design in the presence of uncertainty about the distribution of the observations. Our approach, which is based on the polar spectral decomposition of stationary isotropic random fields, makes it possible to represent the spatial error process by a linear regression model with (infinitely many) ...
