Chapter 2 Flashcards
Samples
Representative elements of populatok
Sampling
Process of selecting representative elements
Conditions to be considered during sampling
What is population
Sample size
Sampling methods
Target population plus AKA
Population of interested from whom sample is drawn
Reference population
Source population
Study population
Subset of target population
Study participants plus Aka
Subset of study population from whom data is actually collected
Sample population
Sampling frame
List of all elements in target population
Sampling fraction plus formula
Ratio of total population to sample size
2 types of sampling methods
Probability sampling method
Non probability sampling method
Which sampling method to choose depends of presence of
Sampling frame
PSM probability sampling method
When sampling frame is available
Random selection and sample is representative
Inference possible
5 subtypes of psm
Simple
Systematic
Stratified
Cluster
Multi stage
Simple psm plus aka plus steps
Basic
Lottery or draw method
Steps
Find list of target population
Decide on sample size
Apply lottery method
Systemic sampling plus aka plus steps
Aka interval sampling
Steps
Find list
Decide sample size
Calculate sampling fraction k
Randomly select any number below k
Select every kth interval
Stratified sampling plus steps
Applied when we know the population is heterogenous
Steps
Divide population into strata
Apply stratified sampling formula
njth = n x Njth

N
Find separate sampling frame
