     Estimating means and temporal trends using LTRM data: details with examples

Estimating population means

LTRM sampling sites are selected at random from strata. Hence, design factors are not considered when estimating an annual stratum mean from LTRM data. Such factors, however, do need to be considered when estimating a mean from more than one stratum, from a portion of a stratum or from multiple years. Approaches for addressing each of these scenarios are provided below.
