| dc.description.abstract | A variate transformation model is employed to estimate the percentage of a large land segment covered by a particular crop based on spectral intensity data from National Aeronautical Space Administration's Earth Resources Technological Satellite. The procedure is based on a transformational of a mixed distribution of crop "signatures" into their known marginal distributions. The parameter estimates for the transformation are obtained simultaneously with the proportion of each crop type of interest on the land segment. Monte Carlo studies are made to investigate the properties of the estimates and the effectiveness of the solution methods applied. | en |
