Issues and Themes for Natural Resources Trend and Change Detection
Edwards D. 1998. Issues and Themes for Natural Resources Trend and Change Detection. Ecological Applications. 8(2):323-325
The 1996 ASA/EPA/ESA/SBI workshop on Ecological Resource Monitoring: Change and Trend Detection, was a successful interaction between quantitative ecologists and environmental statisticians. In this brief comment, a few of the overriding themes are noted and discussed, in particular: (1) the many difficulties encountered in applying traditional formal statistical methods to environmental studies; (2) the differences between design-based and model-based inferences; and (3) the issue of judgment vs. probability sampling.
