  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. Convenience sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convenience_sampling

    Through this method, researchers can easily finish collecting their data in a matter of hours, free from worrying about whether it is an accurate representation of the population. [5] This allows for a great ease of research, letting researchers focus on analyzing the data rather than interviewing and carefully selecting participants.

  4. Snowball sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_sampling

    Snowball sampling is a recruitment method that employs research into participants' social networks to access specific populations. According to research mentioned in the paper written by Kath Browne, [20] using social networks to research is accessible. In this research, Kath Browne used social networks to research non-heterosexual women.

  5. Non-uniform random variate generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_random_variate...

    Non-uniform random variate generation or pseudo-random number sampling is the numerical practice of generating pseudo-random numbers (PRN) that follow a given probability distribution. Methods are typically based on the availability of a uniformly distributed PRN generator .

  6. 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.

  7. Consecutive sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consecutive_sampling

    In the design of experiments, consecutive sampling, also known as total enumerative sampling, [1] is a sampling technique in which every subject meeting the criteria of inclusion is selected until the required sample size is achieved. [2]

  8. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  9. 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 ...
