sbcsamp

Object of class SpatialDesign produced by either the grts or
irs functions that contains survey design information and additional
attribute (auxiliary) variables.

spsample

The object created by the sbcframe function. The default is
NULL.

sbc.frame

Grid cell x-coordinate increment value. The default is NULL.

Grid cell y-coordinate increment value. The default is NULL.

Vector of grid cell x-coordinates. The default is NULL.

Vector of grid cell y-coordinates. The default is NULL.

This function calculates spatial balance grid cell extent and proportions
for a survey design. The user must provide either sbc.frame or values for
dx, dy, xc, and yc.

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),
