Sampling Theory

This introductory text is specifically targeted at ecologists and resource scientists, illustrating how sampling theory can be applied in a wide variety of resource contexts. The emphasis throughout is on design-based sampling from finite populations but attention is also given to model-based prediction and sampling from infinite populations.

Acest text introductiv se adreseaza in mod special ecologilor si cercetatorilor in resurse, ilustrand modul in care teoria esantionarii poate fi aplicata intr-o mare varietate de contexte de resurse. Accentul este pus pe esantionarea bazata pe design din populatii finite, dar se acorda atentie si predictiilor bazate pe model si esantionarii din populatii infinite.
