Visual Sample Plan (VSP)
 |
| VSP |
VSP
provides statistical solutions to sampling design, world-class mathematical
and statistical algorithms, and a user-friendly visual interface, while
answering two important questions in sample planning.
- How
many samples are needed?
The algorithms involved in determining the number of samples needed can be quite involved and intimidating to the non-expert. VSP can quickly calculate the number of samples needed for various scenarios at different costs.
-
Where should the samples be taken?
Sample placement based on personal judgment is prone to bias. VSP instantly provides random or gridded sampling locations overlaid on a user-input site map.
