The dbf file associated with the shapefile may be read by Excel. The dbf file has the following variable definitions: Variable Name Description SiteID Unique site identification (character) arcid Internal identification number x Albers x-coordinate y Albers y-coordinate mdcaty Multi-density categories used for unequal probability selection weight Weight (in meters), inverse of inclusion probability, to be used PRFP Page 196
in statistical analyses stratum Strata used in the survey design panel Identifies base sample by panel name and Oversample by OverSamp auxiliary variables Remaining columns are from the sample frame provided Projection Information No projection information available. Uses the projection of the ArcMap project. Evaluation Process The survey design weights that are given in the design file assume that the survey design is implemented as designed. That is, only the sites that are in the base sample (not in the over sample) are used, and all of the base sites are used. This may not occur due to (1) sites not being a member of the target population, (2) landowners deny access to a site, (3) a site is physically inaccessible (safety reasons), or (4) site not sampled for other reasons. Typically, users prefer to replace sites that can not be sampled with other sites to achieve the sample size planned. The site replacement process is described above. When sites are replaced, the survey design weights are no longer correct and must be adjusted. The weight adjustment requires knowing what happened to each site in the base design and the over sample sites. EvalStatus is initially set to “NotEval” to indicate that the site has yet to be evaluated for sampling. When a site is evaluated for sampling, then the EvalStatus for the site must be changed. Recommended codes are: EvalStatus Code Name Meaning TS Target Sampled site is a member of the target population and was sampled LD Landowner Denial landowner denied access to the site PB Physical Barrier physical barrier prevented access to the site NT Non-Target site is not a member of the target population NN Not Needed site is a member of the over sample and was not evaluated for sampling Other codes Many times useful to have other codes. For example, rather than use NT, may use specific codes indicating why the site was non-target. Statistical Analysis Any statistical analysis of data must incorporate information about the monitoring survey design. In particular, when estimates of characteristics for the entire target population are computed, the statistical analysis must account for any stratification or unequal probability selection in the design. Procedures for doing this are available from the Aquatic Resource Monitoring web page given in the bibliography. A statistical analysis library of functions is available from the web page to do common population estimates in the statistical software environment R.
