fullChainSawIZ: Generate Objects of Class "'fullChainSawIZ'"
In sampSurf: Sampling Surface Simulation for Areal Sampling Methods

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

This is the generic function for class “fullChainSawIZ”. Please see the associated method in fullChainSawIZ-methods for more details on how to construct objects of this class.

1	fullChainSawIZ(downLog, plotRadius, ...)

`downLog`	Signature object of class "`downLog`".
`plotRadius`	Signature object for plot radius.
`...`	See methods.

The actual inclusion zone is the same as that for "sausageIZ." See the reference below for more details on how the actual sampling method works. Also The “InclusionZone” Class and The “InclusionZoneGrid” Class vignettes provide examples.

A valid object of class "fullChainSawIZ."

Note in particular that the puaEstimates slot is not valid in the sense that there is no one estimate for each attribute under this method as the surface will be variable from point to point; therefore, the attributes in this slot will all be assign NA by the constructor.
