Line-intercept sampling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Method of sampling in biostatistics
This article is about the sampling technique used in biological studies. For the structural reliability analysis method, see Line Sampling.
In statistics, more specifically in biostatistics, line-intercept sampling (LIS) is a method of sampling elements in a region whereby an element is sampled if a chosen line segment, called a "transect", intersects the element.[1]
Line intercept sampling has proven to be a reliable, versatile, and easy to implement method to analyze an area containing various objects of interest.[2] It has recently also been applied to estimating variances during particulate material sampling.[3]
