Type of sampling methods in statistical analysis
Stratified sampling Cluster sampling Systematic sampling Multistage sampling Quota sampling Disproportionate stratified sampling Post-stratification # Stratified sampling: In stratified sampling, the population is divided into distinct subgroups or strata based on one or more characteristics (e.g., age, gender, income level). A random sample is then selected from each stratum, ensuring proper representation of all strata in the overall sample. This method is useful when the population is heterogeneous and there are potential variations in responses between different subgroups. # Cluster sampling: In this method, the population is divided into clusters or groups (e.g., geographic regions, schools, households), and a random sample of clusters is selected. All members within the selected clusters are then included in the sample. This method is often used when it is impractical or expensive to create a comprehensive list of all individuals in the population. # Systematic sampling: This...
