Sampling Designs in Surveys

Siegfried Gabler

Abstract

Abstract Survey sampling basically consists of the selection of a part of a population and the subsequent inference from this selected sample. To derive statistical conclusions from the actually collected data, a stochastic background based on a random selection procedure is necessary. Depending on the availability of frames, surveys will use simple or complex samples.
