The inadequate control of sample sizes in surveys using stratified sampling and area estimation may occur when the overall sample size is small or auxiliary information is insufficiently used. Very small sample sizes are possible for some areas. The proposed allocation based on multi-objective optimization uses a small-area model and estimation method and semi-collected empirical data annually collected empirical data. The assessment of its performance at the area and at the population levels is based on design-based sample simulations. Five previously developed allocations serve as references. The model-based estimator is more accurate than the design-based Horvitz–Thompson estimator and the model-assisted regression estimator. Two trade-off issues are between accuracy and bias and between the area- and the population-level qualities of estimates. If the survey uses model-based estimation, the sampling design should incorporate the underlying model and the estimation method.

Optimal sample allocation conditioned on a small area model, estimator, and auxiliary data
Keto, Mauno (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)We have studied optimal sample allocation, associated with small area estimation, when the objective is to obtain as accurate estimates as possible, for the population and for the subpopulations, called as areas here. ... -
Trade-offs among intensive forestry, ecosystem services and biodiversity in boreal forests
Pohjanmies, Tähti (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Finnish forests are used extensively for timber production but are also providers of other ecosystem services and harbor unique biodiversity. The ecosystem services approach has so far been used marginally in the context ... -

These bioeconomy strategies plan to use renewable biological resources, ... -
Multiobjective shape design in a ventilation system with a preference-driven surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithm
Chugh, Tinkle; Kratky, Tomas; Miettinen, Kaisa; Jin, Yaochu; Makkonen, Pekka (ACM, 2019)We formulate and solve a real-world shape design optimization problem of an air intake ventilation system in a tractor cabin by using a preference-based surrogate-assisted evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithm. ... -
Interactive Nonconvex Pareto Navigator for Multiobjective Optimization
Hartikainen, Markus; Miettinen, Kaisa; Klamroth, Kathrin (Elsevier BV, 2019)We introduce a new interactive multiobjective optimization method operating in the objective space called Nonconvex Pareto Navigator. It extends the Pareto Navigator method for nonconvex problems. An approximation of the ...
