Title:
I: 122 - Statistical Oversight
Description:
Provide statistical oversight as the web tool is developed. One of the benefits of a web-based Master Sample implementation is that it provides access to rigorous statistical sampling designs for any organization monitoring the Master Sample population. To maintain that statistical rigor, the web-based tool must be developed with close cooperation between the tool developers and statisticians familiar with the GRTS technique. The principles underlying the application of the Master Sample are well-understood, and Larsen, et al., (2008) present some examples of selecting focused samples from the Master Sample using ancillary information. However, implementation of a variety of design options, for example, stratification, rotating panels, and oversamples, will require statistical oversight. Furthermore, the web tool should be developed to facilitate eventual analysis of the sample selected. There must be a clear path for users to follow from design specification to sample selection to data collection, input, and analysis. One of the critical elements in that path is the automatic production of a design documentation file. This file documents the selection process so that appropriate inclusion probability or weight and other sample structure (e.g., stratification, panels) will be available for analyzing the data collected at the sample sites. The content and format of the file will be developed jointly by the web developer and the statisticians with input from the workgroup. Additionally, efforts under PNAMP to develop and capture metadata related to statistical and monitoring design, data collection and analysis will inform the format of design documentation developed under this task.

Description: The spsurvey survey design and analysis package developed by EPA-Corvallis contains a version of a design documentation file. This will be reviewed for completeness, flexibility, and utility for the Master Sample application. This review will guide the development of the design documentation for this project.
