Sampling Methods: 1 Simple Random Sampling (S.R.S.)

This document outlines different sampling methods including simple random sampling where every unit has an equal chance of selection, systematic sampling where every kth unit is selected with a random start, stratified random sampling where the population is divided into groups and a simple random sample is taken from each group, two-stage sampling where primary units are randomly selected and then secondary units are randomly selected within those, and cluster sampling which is a variation of two-stage sampling where all secondary units within selected primary units are used. It also describes probability proportional to size sampling where selection probabilities are proportional to unit sizes.

SAMPLING METHODS

1 Simple random sampling (s.r.s.)


- every unit in the population has the same probability
(chance) to be included in the sample

2 Systematic sampling
- every kth unit is selected from the frame, with a
random start among the first k units

3 Stratified random sampling


- the population is split into groups (strata). In each
stratum, take a s.r.s.

4 Two-stage (multi-stage) sampling


- stage 1: select primary units, using s.r.s
- stage 2: from each selected primary unit, select
secondary units, using s.r.s.

Cluster sampling
- is a variation on two-stage sampling, where all secondary units
in the chosen primary units are used for data collection

PPS sampling
(probability proportional to size)
- all units have their individual selection probabilities, and these
probabilities are proportional to the size of the units
