  2. Systematic sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_sampling

    Example: Suppose a supermarket wants to study buying habits of their customers, then using systematic sampling they can choose every 10th or 15th customer entering the supermarket and conduct the study on this sample. This is random sampling with a system. From the sampling frame, a starting point is chosen at random, and choices thereafter are ...

  3. Simple random sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_random_sample

    If a systematic pattern is introduced into random sampling, it is referred to as "systematic (random) sampling". An example would be if the students in the school had numbers attached to their names ranging from 0001 to 1000, and we chose a random starting point, e.g. 0533, and then picked every 10th name thereafter to give us our sample of 100 ...

  4. Stratified sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_sampling

    Stratified sampling. In statistics, stratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population which can be partitioned into subpopulations. Stratified sampling example. In statistical surveys, when subpopulations within an overall population vary, it could be advantageous to sample each subpopulation (stratum) independently.

  5. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Sampling (statistics) 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 population and statisticians ...

  6. Monte Carlo method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method

    The approximation of a normal distribution with a Monte Carlo method. Monte Carlo methods, or Monte Carlo experiments, are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. The underlying concept is to use randomness to solve problems that might be deterministic in principle.

  7. Randomization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomization

    Randomization is a statistical process in which a random mechanism is employed to select a sample from a population or assign subjects to different groups. [1][2][3] The process is crucial in ensuring the random allocation of experimental units or treatment protocols, thereby minimizing selection bias and enhancing the statistical validity. [4]

  8. Forest inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_inventory

    Forest inventory is the systematic collection of data and forest information for assessment or analysis. An estimate of the value and possible uses of timber is an important part of the broader information required to sustain ecosystems. [1] When taking forest inventory the following are important things to measure and note: species, diameter ...

  9. Line plot survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_plot_survey

    Line plot survey is a systematic sampling technique used on land surfaces for laying out sample plots within a rectangular grid to conduct forest inventory or agricultural research. It is a specific type of systematic sampling, similar to other statistical sampling methods such as random sampling, but more straightforward to carry out in ...
