Effects of spatial pattern persistence on the performance of sampling designs for regional trend monitoring analyzed by simulation of spacetime fields
Spatial pattern persistence effects quality of trend model for spatial means. With strong and weak persistence there is clearly a best design. Supplemented panel is best choice with strong persistence. With moderate persistence choice of quality criterion determines which design is best. R script is provided for ex ante evaluation of space-time designs
