Abstract:

Natural resource agencies are tasked with monitoring outcomes of interest over time, often across vast and challenging landscapes within narrow sampling windows and with limited sampling resources. Complex sampling designs provide inference to the target population while incorporating design features such as stratification and cluster sampling for statistical and practical efficiency. Temporal panel designs allocate randomly-selected sites across time to optimize effort in both time and space. In this research, the impacts of sampling design weights and temporal revisit designs on trend analysis using linear mixed and generalized linear mixed models are explored for ecological monitoring data.
