Patchy Distributions: Optimizing Sample Size.

Hewitt, J. E.; And Others

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, v27 n2-3 p95-105 Sep 1993

Discusses a technique for estimating sample size that does not require an a priori definition of desired precision. Presents five modifications that make the method easier to use and reduce the probability of estimating a larger sample size than necessary. The technique can guide the design of environmental sampling programs. (Contains 31 references.) (MDH)
