Abstract:

Difficult sampling situations sometimes require an adaptive design for effective investigation of a population of interest. Examples include studies of hidden human populations such as injection drug users and others at high risk for HIV/AIDS or hepatitis C, surveys of unevenly distributed ecological populations and natural resources, and surveillance of epidemic outbreak patterns. Rapid assessment and response to bioterrorism incidents may also require an adaptive approach. In spatial settings, adaptive sampling designs include designs that add additional units to the sample in regions of high encountered values. In network settings, adaptive designs include procedures that follow links from interesting units to find new units to add to the sample. Some new, flexible types of adaptive sampling methods will be described.
