A minimal sampling frame for a Nebraska ice fishing creel survey at Lake McConaughy. Contains 12 weekend sampling days across January-February 2024. Ice fishing surveys are a degenerate bus-route design where all access points are sampled with certainty (p_site = 1.0), so only the period sampling probability (p_period) is specified.

Usage

example_ice_sampling_frame

Format

A data frame with 12 rows and 3 columns:

date

Survey date (Date class), January-February 2024

day_type

Day type stratum: "weekday" or "weekend"

p_period

Numeric period sampling probability in (0, 1]. The probability that a given period is included in the sample.

Source

Simulated data based on Nebraska ice fishing survey protocols.
