A general regression procedure for the prediction of a vector of population means in situations of nonresponse is proposed. The multivariate treatment of the prediction problem is not computationally ...

A good understanding of sampling and experimental design techniques is vital when planning a research study in ecology and wildlife management. Good design leads to effective use of research money, ...

Well-known concepts in statistical inference and sampling theory are used to develop recommendations for planning and analyzing the results of quantitative surveys of freshwater mollusks. Two methods ...

The modern, advanced CMOS direct radio frequency (RF)-sampling data converter has been eagerly awaited by system design engineers for several major end-equipment manufacturers. This includes ...

The data converter has acted as the bridge between the analog (real) world and the digital world for a few decades now. Starting with discrete elements that took up multiple rack spaces and burnt lots ...

Cochran (1977) outlines eleven steps in the planning of a survey. Good sampling methods must exist in the environment of all of these steps. These steps are (1) a statement of the survey objectives, ...

The specific monitoring design (the choice of location and timing of sample collection) that best meets project objectives will depend on the type and scale of the project and the degree to which ...

The critical component in all digital communications receivers is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC sampling rate, bandwidth, and noise tolerance establishes the specifications and ...
