An approximate point-based alternative for the estimation of variance under big BAF sampling

An approximate point-based alternative for the estimation of variance under big BAF sampling

Abstract Background A new variance estimator is derived and tested for big BAF (Basal Area Factor) sampling which is a forest inventory system that utilizes Bitterlich sampling (point sampling) with two BAF sizes, a small BAF for tree counts and a larger BAF on which tree measurements are made usual...
