Expand description
Design-based sampling methods, with a focus on spatially balanced and balanced sampling designs. Balanced sampling utilizes auxilliary information in order to obtain a sample where the Horvitz-Thompson (HT) estimator of the total of the auxilliary information equals the population total of the auxilliaries. This may be very efficient (yield relatively low variance) if there is a linear relationship between the auxilliaries and the variable of interest.
Spatially balanced sampling uses auxilliary information in order to obtain a sample that is well-spread in auxilliary space, as well as being balanced. The samples can then be seen as a miniature version of the population. This generally yields low variances for the variable of interest, if there is a general relationship between the auxilliaries and the variables of interest.
