Abstract

optimal Sampling Design has been developed using FORTRAN-77L language. The developed program is an easy-to-use program with a friendly system. The input and output phase programs were made by way of multi-window displays in order to speed up the input or output data access. The program developed is termed OP SAMP {Optimal Sampling Program). The basic methodology of the selection of optimal sampling uses the Branch and Bound method based on the estimation (kriging) variance method. The selection of the best set of additional samples is obtained if the minimum estimation (kriging) variance computation can be achieved.
