A priori evaluation of two-stage cluster sampling for accuracy assessment of large-area land-cover maps
J.D. Wickham, S.V. Stehman, J.H. Smith, T.G. Wade, L. Yang
2004, International Journal of Remote Sensing (25) 125-1252
Two-stage cluster sampling reduces the cost of collecting accuracy assessment reference data by constraining sample elements to fall within a limited number of geographic domains (clusters). However, because classification error is typically positively spatially correlated, within-cluster correlation may reduce the precision of the accuracy estimates. The detailed population information to...
