摘要：
The problem of estimating the mean value of a random variable along a continuous strip of finite length is considered for the case in which the autocorrelations decay exponentially. It is shown that if the serial correlation is appreciable or if the sample is large the best systematic arrangement is a measurement at the centers of equally spaced intervals. The 2d paper points out that this result is valid only in the case considered and that for other autocorrelation schemes, this arrangement might be very bad. In the case of a sinusoidal autocorrelation, it is actually the worst possible.
