The function GYMass() will calculate the m sampling weights required at each stage given is that obtained by Gy's formula mu of 2. For routine sampling, a confidence i results would be acceptable, but for resea greater sampling accuracy is required, the confidence would be required.

The function GYError() will calculate the m a sample mass from each stage of sampl relative error is that obtained by Gy's form

The function GYMass() will calculate the minimum practical sampling weights required at each stage of sampling. The mass given is that obtained by Gy's formula multiplied by a safety factor of 2. For routine sampling, a confidence interval of 95% in the results would be acceptable, but for research purposes, or where greater sampling accuracy is required, then 99% level of confidence would be required.

The function GYError() will calculate the maximum relative error for a sample mass from each stage of sampling. The calculated relative error is that obtained by Gy's formula.
