Summary

Cavalieri sampling, or systematic sampling, has a new variance theory. We introduce a flexible extension term for accurate variance approximation with any number of observations, improving upon standard methods.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Geometric Probability
  • Computational Geometry

Background:

  • Cavalieri sampling, a method of systematic sampling along an axis, is crucial in various scientific fields.
  • Current variance estimation in Cavalieri sampling relies on the extension term, which is accurate only for large datasets.
  • The 'Zitterbewegung' and higher-order terms have been overlooked in variance prediction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more general representation of error variance in Cavalieri sampling.
  • To construct a flexible extension term that accurately approximates variance for any sample size.
  • To enhance the understanding of variance behavior by linking it to the measurement function's properties.

Main Methods:

  • Decomposition of error variance into extension, 'Zitterbewegung', and higher-order terms.

    • Main Results:

    • A novel, flexible extension term is proposed for accurate variance approximation across all sample sizes.
    • The study provides a method to interpret variance behavior based on the 'overall shape' of the measurement function.
    • The proposed approach is validated using both synthetic and real-world data.

    Conclusions:

    • The new variance approximation offers a more robust and versatile tool for Cavalieri sampling.
    • This work advances the theoretical understanding of variance in systematic sampling methods.
    • The findings have implications for improving the accuracy and reliability of measurements in applications utilizing Cavalieri sampling.
