TL;DR: In this article, a method has been developed for selecting intervals between successive observations on transects such that the risk of omitting boundaries remains constant and in this sense the method is optimal.

Spatial analysis of semi-arid patchy vegetation by the cumulative distribution of patch boundary spacings and transition probabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial pattern of vegetation cover in semi-arid regions was quantified from measurements across patches on transects, and the mean distance between successive patch boundaries was calculated with gamma functions.

Simulation of bed-thickness distribution based on waiting time in the poisson process
N. Nishiwaki
- 01 Jan 1979
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple stochastic sedimentation model of turbidite sequences that assumes a bed thickness corresponds to a waiting time between turbidity currents is proposed and simulated by using a Monte-Carlo method with options for erosion models and basin types.

Optimal sampling strategies for mapping soil types. I. Distribution of boundary spacings.
T. M. Burgess,Richard Webster +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the gamma distribution was used to describe the interboundary spacings between successive soil boundaries and the probabilities of transitions from soil type to soil type in soil maps of England and Wales.
Dptimal interpolation and isarithmic mapping of soil properties. iv sampling strategy
TL;DR: In this article, a sampling strategy for soil survey in which an individual soil property is of interest and can be measured is presented, which depends on first determining accurately the semi-variogram for the property, and this must be done in a prior reconnaissance stage of a survey.
