Evaluation of the role of location and distance in recruitment in respondent-driven sampling
International Journal of Health Geographics, 2011 Background Respondent-driven sampling(RDS) is an increasingly widely used variant of a link tracing design for recruiting hidden populations. The role of the spatial distribution of the target population has not been robustly examined for RDS. We examine

Dynamic Release of Big Location Data Based on Adaptive Sampling and Differential Privacy
IEEE Access, 2019 Data releasing is a key part bridging between the collection of big data and their applications. Traditional methods release the static version of dataset or publish the snapshot with a fixed sampling interval, which cannot meet the dynamic query ...

Modelling a two-dimensional spatial distribution of mycotoxin concentration in bulk commodities to design effective and efficient sample selection strategies [PDF]
, 2009 Mycotoxins in agricultural commodities are a hazard to human and animal health. Their heterogeneous spatial distribution in bulk storage or transport makes it particularly difficult to design effective and efficient sampling plans.
