This paper presents preliminary results of an empirical study of probability sampling designs based on the study of seven attributes of collared rimsherds from six totally or almost totally excavated ...
One possible explanation for the variability in estimates across the different nonprobability samples is the range of methods that online sample vendors employ. They differ on recruitment, weighting ...
Since the inception of rigorous survey work, researchers have been forced—by time and budget constraints—to rely on a slew of sampling methods to estimate population parameters. Sampling is, of course ...
Many marginalized populations face severe health inequities in developed countries. These include people who are poor, homeless, sell sex or use alcohol or illegal drugs. In Toronto, an estimated 19% ...
