Abstract
Sequential sampling occurs when an entire population is unknown in advance and data are received one by one or in groups of units. This article proposes a new algorithm to sequentially select a balanced sample. The algorithm respects equal and unequal inclusion probabilities. The method can also be used to select a spatially balanced sample if the population of interest contains spatial coordinates. A simulation study is proposed, and the results show that the proposed method outperforms other methods.
期刊介绍:
Environmetrics, the official journal of The International Environmetrics Society (TIES), an Association of the International Statistical Institute, is devoted to the dissemination of high-quality quantitative research in the environmental sciences.
The journal welcomes pertinent and innovative submissions from quantitative disciplines developing new statistical and mathematical techniques, methods, and theories that solve modern environmental problems. Articles must proffer substantive, new statistical or mathematical advances to answer important scientific questions in the environmental sciences, or must develop novel or enhanced statistical methodology with clear applications to environmental science. New methods should be illustrated with recent environmental data.
