Title: Innovations in Spatial Sampling
Presenter: Yves Tillé, Professor, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland
Date and Time: Thursday, March 16, 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EST
Sponsor: Survey Research Methods Section
Registration Deadline: March 16, at 11:30 a.m. EST
Description: Spatial sampling is not limited to the selection of units within a territory. One can also define a space with auxiliary variables and define distances between units. Two nearby units are more likely to be similar than two distant units. A sample well spread out in space avoids redundant selection and is therefore often more accurate. One can even interpret sample spreading techniques as a smoothed and multivariate stratification. We will review the current state of research on spatial sampling and present a set of new efficient methods.
