  2. Stratified Random Sampling

  3. Stratified Random Sampling Astratified random sample is one in which some form of random sampling is applied in each of a set of separate groups formed from all entries on a sampling frame from which a sample is to be drawn

  4. Strata Discrete In stratified random sampling, strata are nonoverlapping groups separating population elements By strategically forming these groups, stratification becomes a feature of the sample design that can improve the statistical quality of survey estimates

  5. Notation for Stratified Random Sampling Need at least 2

  6. Allocation to Strata Deciding how a stratified sample will be distributed among all strata is called stratum allocation The most appropriate allocation method depends on how the stratification will be used

  7. Equal Allocation If the main purpose of stratification is to control subgroup sample sizes for important population subgroups, stratum sample sizes should be sufficient to meet precision requirements for subgroup analysis An important part of the analysis is to produce comparisons among all subgroup strata In this instance, equal allocation (i.e., equal sample sizes) would be appropriate

  8. Proportionate Allocation Proportionate allocation is a prudent choice when the main focus of the analysis is characteristics of several subgroups or the population as a whole and where the appropriate allocations for these analyses are discrepant Proportionate allocation involves applying the same sampling rate to all strata, thus implying that the percent distribution of the selected sample among strata is identical to the corresponding distribution for the population can miss some strata

  9. Optimum Allocation Optimum allocation, in which the most cost-efficient stratum sample sizes are sought, can lead to estimates of overall population characteristics that are statistically superior to those from proportionate allocations When all stratum unit costs are the same, the stratum sampling rates that yield the most precise sample estimates are proportional to the stratum-specific standard deviations (Neyman allocation)

  10. Estimation of a Population Mean and Total
