Visual Sample Plan
VSP provides statistical solutions to sampling design, world-class mathematical and statistical algorithms, and a user-friendly visual interface, while answering two important questions in sample planning:
- How many samples are needed?
- The algorithms involved in determining the number of samples needed can be quite involved and intimidating to the non-expert. VSP can quickly calculate the number of samples needed for various scenarios at different costs.
- Where should the samples be taken?
- VSP instantly provides random or gridded sampling locations overlaid on a user input site map to achieve the desired objective. VSP will help you make statistically defensible decisions by quantifying the confidence in your results.
