IN_streams

A dataset containing attributes for streams in the Upper Wabash Basin in
Indiana.

These functions provide procedures for selecting sites for spatial
surveys using spatially balanced algorithms applied to discrete points,
linear networks, or polygons. The probability survey designs available
include independent random samples, stratified random samples, and unequal
probability random samples (categorical or probability proportional to
size). Design-based estimation based on the results from surveys is
available for estimating totals, means, quantiles, CDFs, and linear models.
The analyses rely on package survey for most results. Variance estimation
options include a local neighborhood variance estimator that is appropriate
for spatially-balanced survey designs. A reference for the survey design
portion of the package is: D. L. Stevens, Jr. and A. R. Olsen (2004),

Statistical Association 99(465): 262-278, <DOI:10.1198/016214504000000250>.
