Unbiased Sampling Techniques – random, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling.
To obtain samples that are unbiased—i.e., that give each subject in the population an equally likely chance of being selected—statisticians use four basic methods of sampling: random, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling. Random Sampling Random samples are selected by using chance methods or random numbers. One such method is to number each subject in […]
