  2. Systematic sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_sampling

    In survey methodology, one-dimensional systematic sampling is a statistical method involving the selection of elements from an ordered sampling frame. The most common form of systematic sampling is an equiprobability method. [1] This applies in particular when the sampled units are individuals, households or corporations.

  3. Simple random sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_random_sample

    If a systematic pattern is introduced into random sampling, it is referred to as "systematic (random) sampling". An example would be if the students in the school had numbers attached to their names ranging from 0001 to 1000, and we chose a random starting point, e.g. 0533, and then picked every 10th name thereafter to give us our sample of 100 ...

  4. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(statistics)

    In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is the selection of a subset or a statistical sample (termed sample for short) of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. The subset is meant to reflect the whole population and statisticians attempt to collect ...

  5. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a study is usually determined based on the cost, time, or convenience of collecting the data, and the need for it to offer sufficient statistical power. In complex studies ...

  6. Systematic review - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_review

    A systematic review is a scholarly synthesis of the evidence on a clearly presented topic using critical methods to identify, define and assess research on the topic. [1] A systematic review extracts and interprets data from published studies on the topic (in the scientific literature), then analyzes, describes, critically appraises and summarizes interpretations into a refined evidence-based ...

  7. Statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics

    Probability is used in mathematical statistics to study the sampling distributions of sample statistics and, more generally, the properties of statistical procedures. The use of any statistical method is valid when the system or population under consideration satisfies the assumptions of the method.

  8. Stratified randomization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_randomization

    Graphic breakdown of stratified random sampling. In statistics, stratified randomization is a method of sampling which first stratifies the whole study population into subgroups with same attributes or characteristics, known as strata, then followed by simple random sampling from the stratified groups, where each element within the same subgroup are selected unbiasedly during any stage of the ...

  9. Stratified sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_sampling

    In statistics, stratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population which can be partitioned into subpopulations. Stratified sampling example In statistical surveys , when subpopulations within an overall population vary, it could be advantageous to sample each subpopulation ( stratum ) independently.
