Mc. Bueso et al., A STATE-SPACE MODEL APPROACH TO OPTIMUM SPATIAL SAMPLING DESIGN BASEDON ENTROPY, Environmental and ecological statistics, 5(1), 1998, pp. 29-44
We consider the spatial sampling design problem for a random field X.
This random field is in general assumed not to be directly observable,
but sample information from a related variable Y is available. Our pu
rpose in this paper is to present a state-space model approach to netw
ork design based on Shannon's definition of entropy, and describe its
main points with regard to some of the most common practical problems
in spatial sampling design. For applications, an adaptation of Ko et a
l.'s (1995) algorithm for maximum entropy sampling in this context is
provided. We illustrate the methodology using piezometric data from th
e Velez aquifer (Malaga, Spain).
