Chapter Chapter 1 in Sampling Spatial Units for Agricultural Surveys, 2015, pp 1-36 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Surveys are probably the most noticeable aspect of statistics. They are perhaps universally criticized, and yet they continue to be widely used. If they are realized and interpreted in an appropriate way, they are a valuable technique for gaining information about a phenomenon. In this chapter we outline the main approaches to sampling and the statistical models for spatial data that will be used in the rest of the book.
