SamplingStrata

Optimal Stratification of Sampling Frames for Multipurpose Sampling Surveys

v1.5-5 · Oct 8, 2025 · GPL (>= 2)

Description

Tools for the optimization of stratified sampling design. It determines a stratification of a sampling frame that minimizes sample cost while satisfying precision constraints in a multivariate and multidomain context. The approach relies on a genetic algorithm; each candidate partition of the frame is an individual whose fitness is evaluated via the Bethel-Chromy allocation to meet target precisions. Functions support analysis of optimization results, labeling of the frame with new strata, and drawing a sample according to the optimal allocation. Algorithmic components adapt code from the 'genalg' package. See M. Ballin and G. Barcaroli (2020) "R package SamplingStrata: new developments and extension to Spatial Sampling" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2004.09366>.
