Adaptive Multistage Sampling/Evidence
Method evidence record

Adaptive Multistage Sampling

Adaptive multistage sampling combines the hierarchical efficiency of multistage designs with adaptive decision rules that adjust which units are sampled at later stages based on what is observed at earlier stages. It is used when a target characteristic is rare, clustered, or spatially heterogeneous and a fixed design would waste resources on uninformative areas of the population.
