Abstract

The sampling design is a crucial topic that would be considered in Small Area Estimation (SAE). Applications of sampling designs presented in Forest Inventories (FIs) for SAE, with the two-phase sampling to have the most references. Eventually, FIs that are applied for SAE is an open research topic. An important contribution to this topic would be the comparison and the optimization of sampling designs that aims to improve SAE in FIs.
