Comparison of variance estimation methods for use with two-dimensional systematic sampling of land use/land cover data
Abstract Systematic sampling is more precise than simple random sampling when spatial autocorrelation is present and the sampling effort is equal, but there is no unbiased method to estimate the variance from a systematic sample. The objective of...
