    Stratified Cluster Sampling

    Uploaded by

    Stratified sampling involves dividing a population into homogeneous subgroups (strata), then randomly sampling from each stratum. It provides more precise estimates than simple random sampling. Cluster sampling randomly samples existing groups (clusters) within a population and collects data from every subject in selected clusters. It is used when a random sample would be too scattered. Both divide a population into groups but stratified sampling subgroups are mutually exclusive while cluster subgroups can overlap and each should represent the overall population.

     STRATIFIED SAMPLING

     CLUSTER SAMPLING
    STRATIFIED SAMPLING
    • A second type of random sampling is
    stratified random sampling in which the
    population is divided into nonoverlapping
    subpopulations called strata.
    • Stratified Sampling is possible when it
    makes sense to partition the population
    into groups based on a factor that may
    influence the variable that is being
    measured.  
    STRATIFIED SAMPLING
    With stratified sampling one should:
    partition the population into groups (strata)
    obtain a simple random sample from each
    group (stratum)
    collect data on each sampling unit that
    was randomly sampled from each group
    (stratum) 
    STRATIFIED SAMPLING
    • Stratified sampling works best when a
    heterogeneous population is split into fairly
    homogeneous groups.  Under these
    conditions, stratification generally
    produces more precise estimates of the
    population percents than estimates that
    would be found from a simple random
    sample. Table shows some examples of
    ways to obtain a stratified sample.
    Example 1 Example 2 Example3

    Population All people in U.S. All PSU All elementary


    intercollegiate students in the local
    athletes school district

    Groups (Strata)  4 Time Zones in the 26 PSU 11 different


    U.S. (Eastern, intercollegiate teams elementary schools
    Central, Mountain, in the local school
    Pacific) district
    Obtain a Simple 500 people from 5 athletes from each 20 students from
    Random Sample each of the 4 time of the 26 PSU teams each of the 11
    zones elementary schools

    Sample 4 × 500 = 2000 26 × 5 = 130 11 × 20 = 220


    selected people selected athletes selected students
    CLUSTER SAMPLING
    • Cluster sampling is a sampling technique
    where the entire population is divided into
    groups, or clusters, and a random sample
    of these clusters are selected. All
    observations in the selected clusters are
    included in the sample.
    CLUSTER SAMPLING
    • Cluster sampling is typically used when
    the researcher cannot get a complete list
    of the members of a population they wish
    to study but can get a complete list of
    groups or 'clusters' of the population. It is
    also used when a random sample would
    produce a list of subjects so widely
    scattered that surveying them would prove
    to be far too expensive.
    CLUSTER SAMPLING
    • Cluster Sampling is very different from
    Stratified Sampling. With cluster
    sampling one should divide the
    population into groups (clusters).
    • obtain a simple random sample of so
    many clusters from all possible clusters.
    • obtain data on every sampling unit in each
    of the randomly selected clusters.
    CLUSTER SAMPLING
    • It is important to note that, unlike with the
    strata in stratified sampling, the clusters
    should be microcosms, rather than
    subsections, of the population.   Each
    cluster should be heterogeneous.
    Additionally, the statistical analysis used
    with cluster sampling is not only different,
    but also more complicated than that used
    with stratified sampling.
