Sampling Flashcards
Applicable for small population
Simple random sampling
Applicable for Homogeneous
Simple random sampling
Applicable for Readily available
Simple random sampling
Gives maximum number of samples
Simple random sampling
Highly representative
Simple random sampling
Requires complete list of population members
Simple random sampling
Uneconomical for large populations
Simple random sampling
each element of the frame has an equal probability of selection
Simple random sampling
selecting elements at regular intervals through that ordered list
Systematic sampling
Applicable for large population
Systematic sampling
Applicable for Scattered
Systematic sampling
Easier
Systematic sampling
Good coverage of the study area
Systematic sampling
More biased
Systematic sampling
Under or over representation of a pattern
Systematic sampling
Provides the least number of possible samples
Systematic sampling
frame can be organized by distinct categories into separate “strata”
Stratified / stratified random sampling
Applicable for large population
Stratified / stratified random sampling
Applicable for Not homogeneous
Stratified / stratified random sampling
Focuses on important subpopulations
Stratified / stratified random sampling
Allows use of different sampling techniques for different subpopulations
Stratified / stratified random sampling
Improves the accuracy/efficiency of estimation
Stratified / stratified random sampling
Complex, requires strata to be clearly and carefully defined
Stratified / stratified random sampling
Two types of Stratified Sampling
Proportional and Non- proportional
Proportionate representation is given to subgroups or strata each stratum is represented according to its size
Proportional sampling
Equal representation is given to all the substrata regardless of their existence in the population
Non-proportionate sampling
naturally occurring units or grouping within populations
Cluster sampling ( multistage cluster.S)
Relatively easy and economical
Cluster sampling ( multistage cluster.S)
Useful when list of population members not available or widely dispersed
Cluster sampling ( multistage cluster.S)
Other elements in the same cluster may share similar characteristics
Cluster sampling ( multistage cluster.S)
Standard errors of the estimates are high
Cluster sampling ( multistage cluster.S)
chosen based on their relative ease of access
who volunteer
Convenience sampling
data can be collected quickly and for a low cost
Convenience sampling
seeks to
include ALL accessible subjects as part of the sample
Every subject meeting the criteria of inclusion is selected until the required sample size is achieved
Consecutive Sampling
chooses the sample based on who they think would be appropriate for the study
Purposive sampling
Hand-pick subjects on the basis of specific characteristics
Purposive sampling
Sample with a specific purpose in mind
Purposive sampling
ensures equal or proportionate representation of subjects depending on which trait is considered as basis
Quota sampling
design where existing study subjects recruit further subjects from their acquaintances, especially when no lists are available
Snow ball sampling
