Distance-Based Sampling of Software Configuration Spaces
2019 IEEE/ACM 41st International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), 2019Configurable software systems provide configuration options to adjust and optimize their functional and non-functional properties. However, to obtain accurate performance predictions, a representative sample set of configurations is required. Different sampling strategies have been proposed, which come with different advantages and disadvantages.

Introduction to Distance Sampling
2001Abstract Offers a comprehensive introduction to distance sampling, a statistical method used by many biologists and conservationists to estimate animal abundance. The text discusses point transect sampling and line transect sampling and also describes several other related techniques.

Spatial distance sampling models
2004Abstract Increasingly, wildlife managers wish to extract more than just an abundance estimate from their sightings surveys. They frequently need to relate animal density to spatial variables reflecting topography, habitat, and other factors that affect the animals’ environment.

Adaptive distance sampling surveys
2004Abstract Distance sampling is especially effective for surveying objects that are sparsely distributed through a large region. However, if those objects tend to occur in a relatively small number of patches, standard distance sampling may yield both a low number of detections (because much effort is expended away from these patches) and ...

Perpendicular Distance Models for Line Transect Sampling
Biometrics, 1985Perpendicular distance line transect models are examined to assess whether any single model can provide a general procedure for analysing line transect data. Of the two-parameter models considered, the hazard-rate model appears promising, whereas the exponential power series and exponential quadratic models do not.

Designing Distance Sampling Experiments
2015For most of this book, we assume that the main objective is to estimate abundance of the population of interest. Sometimes, we might instead wish to assess the effects (if any) of a management regime or a development on population densities. For example, does spraying a forest block with pesticide to eradicate an insect pest have a detrimental effect ...

Introduction to advanced distance sampling
2004Abstract Distance sampling, primarily line transect and point transect sampling, has had a relatively short history. The earliest attempts to use distances to detected animals to estimate abundance date back to the 1930s, and the first line transect estimator with a rigorous mathematical basis was due to Hayne (1949).

We investigate mechanisms to improve efficiency for line and point transect surveys of clustered populations by combining the distance methods with adaptive sampling. In adaptive sampling, survey effort is increased when areas of high animal density are located, thereby increasing the number of observations.
