Design and regression estimation in double sampling
… estimation in double sampling under the superpopulation model approach are examined. One method proposes the use of an alternative double sample regression estimator. The other method recommends the use of nonrandom, purposive subsampling plans. Both methods aim to reduce the mean squared …

Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) Tree Preference and Intersite Movement at California Overwintering Sites
… that overwintering monarchs may belong to a superpopulation. The existence of a superpopulation comprised of individuals moving in and out of sites would force us to rethink our ideas of landscape-level resource use by monarchs, our site-centric (rather than landscape-level) management …

Análise de dados amostrais complexos utilizando redes neurais
… complex sample surveys. This work porpose an superpopulation approach for modelling data from complex survey using ANN. An evaluation of the proposed methodology is carried out empirically through simulations and, after, estimation measures are calculated. The practical application is done …

Algorithmic Approaches to Nonparametric Causal Inference
… which exploit probabilistic structure in superpopulation, fixed covariate, and finite population models to facilitate nonparametric inference for a wide variety of statistics in completely randomized designs. The resampling algorithms extend the classical bootstrap paradigm by leveraging …

Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) demography, behavior, and movement on the Outer Banks of North Carolina
… resighting and count data to estimate stopover superpopulation and stopover duration of migrating birds based on their breeding region of origin. Annual survival of adults from North Carolina (x ̅ = 0.69, SE = 0.07) was not different from another population on Fire Island, New York (x ̅ = 0.73, …
