The phrase "a sample of locations" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a selection or subset of specific places for analysis, study, or demonstration purposes.
Example: "In our research, we collected a sample of locations to assess the impact of urban development on local wildlife."
Alternatives: "a selection of locations" or "a subset of locations".
PVM requires digital maps of the environmental variables, as well as spatial information on the vegetation attribute of interest (e.g., species, type, abundance), usually from a sample of locations.
These raw tree data can then be converted to estimates of plot-level biomass using allometric equations that relate tree characteristics to known biomass measured destructively at a sample of locations (and often as an entirely separate effort).
Examples include the prediction of the future location of a person [4], their mode of transport [5] and the identification of individuals from a sample of their location data [6].
Like many spatial mapping exercises in remote sensing, the general approach for producing AGB maps is to extrapolate high quality training data from a small sample of locations to a large, contiguous space.
A new general method for assessing dispersion within a system is proposed, using trajectory data to define a localised sample of locations, and analysis of the variance in location of that sample after a given period of time.
Product compliance to geometrical specifications typically requires an automated inspection cycle operated by a computer controlled machine which sequentially probes the part surface at a small sample of locations.
We selected 12 outpatient departments in three mental health institutes in The Netherlands, striving for a differentiated sample of locations, according to degree of treatment specialization, nature and severity of psychopathology, and geographical dispersion.
Herein, the present data suggests that a sample of five random locations provides an estimate of SC CSA similar to that of a comprehensive measurement of all available sequential frames within a region.
A wider geographic sample of locations across habitats and islands is needed to examine this more definitively in combination with a larger number of highly polymorphic genetic markers.
Data collected from the street-by-street canvassing were used to develop a sampling frame of locations in which concentrations of the target population occurred and to characterize the sample on important variables [ 13].
At each location, a sample of soil was taken, along with a photograph of the area.
