sits_sampling_design {sits}

Allocation of sample size to strata

Description

Takes a class cube with different labels and allocates a number of sample sizes per strata to obtain suitable values of error-adjusted area, providing five allocation strategies.

Usage

sits_sampling_design(
  cube,
  expected_ua = 0.75,
  std_err = 0.01,
  rare_class_prop = 0.1
)

Arguments

cube

Classified cube

expected_ua

Expected values of user's accuracy

std_err

Standard error we would like to achieve

rare_class_prop

Proportional area limit for rare classes

Value

A matrix with options to decide allocation of sample size to each class. This matrix uses the same format as Table 5 of Olofsson et al.(2014).
