Overview • Introduction • Assumptions • Estimator for the Total in a continuous domain • Effect of missing data in estimator for the total • Adjustment estimator
John Day stream network Assumptions • probability sample • Estimate of the population total of a variable Y • Missing at random
Estimating the Total • Horvitz-Thompson Estimator for the total in a continuous domain (Cordy, 1993): - Unbiased • Estimator for the Variance of the total • Other: Total and variance estimators (Yates and Grundy, 1953)Local Variance Estimator (Stevens and Olsen, 2003)

Variance of the Adjustment Estimator • Observe that:
Population: John Day Middle Fork stream reaches • Area of 785 mi2 • 143 stream reaches divided in survey segments (~1 mile) • 6536 survey segments • We simulate a continuous multivariate normal spatial random process
Population: John Day Middle Fork stream reaches • The population of stream reaches was stratified in 6 strata based on the number of survey segments: “<10 ” “10-20” “20-30” “30-50” “50-100” “>100” • 1,000 samples of size 100
