A computer program for evaluating risks in constructing choropleth maps by point sampling along transects

TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic approach to the problem of estimating a Euclidean region's partition into a known number of subregions is presented. But the problem is to obtain an estimated reconstruction of the partition based on the observations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the concept of the quality of a soil map in terms of the proportion of soil boundaries that have remained undetected as a result of point sampling and defined a risk function, and the optimal strategy is such that the risk is maintained at some predetermined acceptable level.

TL;DR: Arnon et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a method based on simulating the human logical evaluation process in which, based on empirically established associations between specific depositional settings and key sedimentary attributes, a systematic elimination procedure is employed to converge on the most plausible interpretation.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of sampling experiments performed on a map of sedimentary environments of the Mississippi Delta region of south-east Louisiana, was concluded that systematic sampling is the most efficient sampling strategy overall for mapping sedimentary facies.
