version: 1.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.spbal
abstract: Encapsulates a number of spatially balanced sampling algorithms, namely,
  Balanced Acceptance Sampling (equal, unequal, seed point, panels), Halton frames
  (for discretizing a continuous resource), Halton Iterative Partitioning (equal probability),
  Simple Random Sampling, Dynamic Assignment Sampling and Doubly balanced Dynamic
  Assignment Sampling. Robertson, B. L., Brown, J. A., McDonald, T. and Jaksons, P.
