  3. Probability-proportional-to-size sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability-proportional...

    The pps sampling results in a fixed sample size n (as opposed to Poisson sampling which is similar but results in a random sample size with expectancy of n). When selecting items with replacement the selection procedure is to just draw one item at a time (like getting n draws from a multinomial distribution with N elements, each with their own ...

    Publication data: 1950, John Wiley & Sons, New York (Reprinted with corrections in 1979 by Robert E. Krieger) Description: Early exposition of the general linear model using matrix algebra (following lecture notes of George W. Brown). Bases inference on the randomization distribution objectively defined by the experimental protocol, rather than ...

  5. Simple random sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_random_sample

    Simple random sampling merely allows one to draw externally valid conclusions about the entire population based on the sample. The concept can be extended when the population is a geographic area. [4] In this case, area sampling frames are relevant. Conceptually, simple random sampling is the simplest of the probability sampling techniques.

  6. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    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. The subset is meant to reflect the whole ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_estimator

    The first of these sampling schemes is a double use of a sampling method introduced by Lahiri in 1951. [14] The algorithm here is based upon the description by Lohr. [13] Choose a number M = max( x 1, ..., x N) where N is the population size. Choose i at random from a uniform distribution on [1,N]. Choose k at random from a uniform distribution ...

  8. Statistical theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_theory

    The theory of statistics provides a basis for the whole range of techniques, in both study design and data analysis, that are used within applications of statistics. [1] [2] The theory covers approaches to statistical-decision problems and to statistical inference, and the actions and deductions that satisfy the basic principles stated for these different approaches.

  9. Cochran's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochran's_theorem

    In statistics, Cochran's theorem, devised by William G. Cochran, [1] is a theorem used to justify results relating to the probability distributions of statistics that are used in the analysis of variance.
