Randomly select a number between 1 and 20
1st person selected = the 8th on the list
2nd person = 8 + 20 = the 28th
3nd person = 28 + 20 = the 48th

Linear
Subject refers only one other subject
Exponential Non-Discriminative
Subject gives multiple referrals and
each referral gives some more until
required sample size is reached.
⚫Exponential discriminative
Subject refers multiple people but only
one is chosen as sample

for experimental study.
• The research should decide the
sample size based on effect
that is clinically important to
detect.

⚫Determine effects of the study to
detect differences or
relationships that actually exist
in the population
