But I don't really think this is the right way to go about this.
Research papers are going to turn up pretty specialized solutions that
are probably patented. We don't even have the basic understanding we
need. I suspect a basic textbook chapter on multistage sampling will
discuss at least the standard techniques.
I agree that looking for information on block level sampling
specifically, and its impact on estimation quality is likely to not
turn up very much, and whatever it does turn up will have patent
issues.
We have an entire analytics dept. at work that specializes in finding patterns
in our data. I might be able to get some time from them to at least provide
some guidance here, if the community is interested. They could really only
serve in a consulting role though.
