It is useful in time sensitive research because very little preparation is needed to use convenience sampling for data collection. It is also useful when researchers need to conduct pilot data collection in order to gain a quick understanding of certain trends or to develop hypotheses for future research. By rapidly gathering information ...
In social science research, snowball sampling is a similar technique, where existing study subjects are used to recruit more subjects into the sample. Some variants of snowball sampling, such as respondent driven sampling, allow calculation of selection probabilities and are probability sampling methods under certain conditions.
In business research, companies must often generate samples of customers, clients, employees, and so forth to gather their opinions. Sample design is also a critical component of marketing research and employee research for many organizations. During sample design, firms must answer questions such as:
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.
The re-sampling techniques are implemented in four different categories: undersampling the majority class, oversampling the minority class, combining over and under sampling, and ensembling sampling. The Python implementation of 85 minority oversampling techniques with model selection functions are available in the smote-variants [2] package.

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.
