Stratified Sampling Method01:16

Stratified Sampling Method

13.2K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

196
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Cluster Sampling Method

13.1K
Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Geospatial Analysis
  • Soil Science

Background:

  • Soil pollutant distribution is a growing concern, necessitating accurate regional assessments.
  • Existing soil quality surveys in China offer potential for evaluating soil pollution trends.
  • Assessing soil contamination dynamics requires robust methodologies for reliable data interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a novel method for regional soil quality assessment using combined two-phase data.
  • To analyze changes in soil pollution distribution in a typical watershed in southeast China between 2005 and 2015.
  • To evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of a new multi-period data integration approach for soil pollution assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized soil data from two sampling phases (2005 and 2015) in a southeast China watershed.
  • Applied spatial interpolation analysis to map soil pollutant distribution for both periods.
  • Developed a point combination technique integrating site conditions and multi-period data for enhanced accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Significant soil pollution changes were observed between 2005 and 2015, with 47.25% of the basin showing increased pollution.
  • The developed method combining multi-period data increased average accuracy to 89% from baseline figures of 76% and 81%.
  • Soil contamination changes correlated with the intensity of human activities rather than land-use type shifts.

Conclusions:

  • A new method using multi-period data effectively assesses regional soil quality and pollution dynamics.
  • The study highlights the dynamic nature of soil pollution and the influence of human activities.
  • Accurate soil pollution assessment is crucial for effective environmental management and remediation strategies.
