The Multivariate Adaptive Sampling for Estimating the Diversity in Biological Populations

摘要: In environmental surveys, due to environment fluctuations, the population could be spread on a wide study area so that density is low but many units are concentrated inside small regions. this case, we say biological community clustered. setting, propose multivariate adaptive sampling estimate diversity. particular, in order describe diversity of population, consider several distribution models for abundance vector. By means suitable simulation study, limits and advantages using designs emphasized each model considered.
