Improving RBS estimates - effects of the auxiliary variable, stratification of the crown, and deletion of segments on the precision of estimates

Randomized Branch Sampling (RBS) is a multistage sampling procedure using natural branching in order to select samples for the estimation of tree characteristics. The existing variants of the RBS method use unequal selection probabilities based on an appropriate auxiliary variable, and selection wit...
