Comparison of estimators of variance for forest inventories with systematic sampling - results from artificial populations

Abstract Background Large area forest inventories often use regular grids (with a single random start) of sample locations to ensure a uniform sampling intensity across the space of the surveyed populations. A design-unbiased estimator of variance does not exist for this design. Oftentimes, a quasi-...
