[R-sig-Geo] FW: Spatial sampling design using information more than spatial coordinates [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Tomislav Hengl]

The "clhs" package (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/clhs/) has 
some functionality for latin-hypercube sampling hence it is suitable for 
your case. Here are some code examples: 
http://gsif.isric.org/doku.php?id=wiki:tutorial_eberg#testing_the_feature_space_coverage

I have also recently (experimentally) implemented a function to test 
'efficiency of any sampling plan' which looks at both geographical space 
and feature space representation:

If you discover a bug or some 'strange behavior', please let me know.

HTH,
