Redmine InfoVeg - Bug #2885 (New): Business rules needed to guide field-samplers in subsampling & changin...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/28852007-07-09T19:46:01ZMichael Leemlee@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>From a Peet Email:<br />"Further, it may be necessary to develop guidelines<br />for when such modification is permissible, thought this is probably more a<br />contractual matter for EEP than a real change in the protocol.<br />Regardless, the manual should be modified to require the rationale and to<br />advise the guidelines may be set by EEP."</p>
<p>This spins off of bug 2862, which addresses documenting why and how the subsampling was done. This bug is about guiding people in how to decide to subsample and what percent/cut-off is appropriate. This is a sensitive issue, perhaps, in that overly aggressive subsampling will speed things up for contractors, but may decrease the accuracy of the sample.</p>
