Abstract:

Abstract: In this review, adaptive cluster sampling (ACS) is summarized in four aspects. The issues such as choice of initial sampling design, number and size of networks, critical value and neighborhood definition which affect the relative efficiency of ACS are analyzed and reviewed. Several estimators, modifications of the basic sampling design and simulation studies of ACS are discussed.
Applictaions in different fields of ACS are introduced. Finally, in combinatio
n with the practice the prospect of the development of ACS in some aspects is given in future study.
