This week I worked on quadrat optimization, working to find the optimal number of quadrats in a population to consider and the percentage of the quadrats to be sampled. I also did some work using the total number to sample rather than percent, but I used the percentages for most of my analysis.
I wasn't sure of the best way to analyze the "goodness" data, and generally just made preliminary judgements by eye without any search algorithms.
I also added some tests to my functions, though I wasn't sure how to do this for some of my optmiality functions.
