  2. Nonprobability sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonprobability_sampling

    Nonprobability sampling is a form of sampling that does not utilise random sampling techniques where the probability of getting any particular sample may be calculated. Nonprobability samples are not intended to be used to infer from the sample to the general population in statistical terms.

  3. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Accidental sampling (sometimes known as grab, convenience or opportunity sampling) is a type of nonprobability sampling which involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population which is close to hand. That is, a population is selected because it is readily available and convenient.

  4. Survey sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_sampling

    This type of sampling is common in non-probability market research surveys. Convenience Samples: The sample is composed of whatever persons can be most easily accessed to fill out the survey. In non-probability samples the relationship between the target population and the survey sample is immeasurable and potential bias is unknowable.

  5. Convenience sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convenience_sampling

    Convenience sampling (also known as grab sampling, accidental sampling, or opportunity sampling) is a type of non-probability sampling that involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand.

  6. Quota sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quota_sampling

    Quota sampling is the non-probability version of stratified sampling. In stratified sampling, subsets of the population are created so that each subset has a common characteristic, such as gender. Random sampling chooses a number of subjects from each subset with, unlike a quota sample, each potential subject having a known probability of being ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sampling_techniques

    This category is for techniques for statistical sampling from real-world populations, used in observational studies and surveys. For techniques for sampling random numbers from desired probability distributions, see category:Monte Carlo methods.

  8. Consecutive sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consecutive_sampling

    Along with convenience sampling and snowball sampling, consecutive sampling is one of the most commonly used kinds of nonprobability sampling. [3] Consecutive sampling is typically better than convenience sampling in controlling sampling bias. [4]

  9. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The Ewens's sampling formula is a probability distribution on the set of all partitions of an integer n, arising in population genetics. The Balding–Nichols model; The multinomial distribution, a generalization of the binomial distribution. The multivariate normal distribution, a generalization of the normal distribution.
