Abstract

Interpolation is commonly used in the construction of maps and images when there is limited information for some of the sites. The accuracy of interpolation methods depends, in part, on the location of the sample sites where more complete information has been gathered. An initial survey design where the sample sites are spaced so there is wide-spread coverage is desirable. However, when there is considerable variation in the variable of interest, other design features may be preferable. Here we introduce an adaptive design where in the first stage of site selection gives wide-spread coverage, and in subsequent stages additional sites are selected adjacent to areas of high variability.
