Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample.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.
Proportionate allocation uses a sampling fraction in each of the strata that are proportional to that of the total population. For instance, if the population consists of n total individuals, m of which are male and f female (and where m + f = n), then the relative size of the two samples (x 1 = m/n males, x 2 = f/n females) should reflect this proportion.
Gibbs sampling is named after the physicist Josiah Willard Gibbs, in reference to an analogy between the sampling algorithm and statistical physics.The algorithm was described by brothers Stuart and Donald Geman in 1984, some eight decades after the death of Gibbs, [1] and became popularized in the statistics community for calculating marginal probability distribution, especially the posterior ...
A visual representation of the sampling process. 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.
Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a statistical method for generating a near-random sample of parameter values from a multidimensional distribution.The sampling method is often used to construct computer experiments or for Monte Carlo integration.

Importance sampling is a variance reduction technique that can be used in the Monte Carlo method.The idea behind importance sampling is that certain values of the input random variables in a simulation have more impact on the parameter being estimated than others.
