{"product_id":"recursive-restriction-estimation-czaplewski-9781507666173","title":"Recursive Restriction Estimation: An Alternative to Post- Stratification in Surveys of Land and Forest Cover","description":"Numerous government surveys of natural resources use Post-Stratifi cation to improve statistical effi ciency, where strata are defi ned by full-coverage, remotely sensed data and geopolitical boundaries. Recursive Restriction Estimation, which may be considered a special case of the static Kalman filter, is an attractive alternative. It decomposes a complex estimation problem into simple components that are sequentially processed. Compared to Post-Stratification, it more efficiently uses remotely sensed data, both continuous and categorical. It is less constrained by sample size, which is especially important with panel surveys. It produces a conditionally unbiased covariance matrix for the vector estimate of population totals without approximations or ad hoc assumptions. This facilitates variance estimates for non-linear pseudo-estimators. A robust sequential algorithm controls numerical errors inherent with Recursive Restriction Estimator, which can otherwise cause unreliable results. Analysis of residuals can detect other anomalies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Czaplewski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1507666179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781507666173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.07d","brand":"Czaplewski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623022211327,"sku":"9781507666173","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recursive-restriction-estimation-czaplewski-9781507666173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
