Use of models in large-area forest surveys: comparing model-assisted, model-based and hybrid estimation
This paper focuses on the use of models for increasing the precision of estimators in large-area forest surveys. It is motivated by the increasing availability of remotely sensed data, which facilitates the development of models predicting the variables of interest in forest surveys. We present, r...
