This document discusses sources of bias and error that can occur in research studies. It defines validity as the degree to which a measurement measures what it intends to measure. Reliability is defined as the degree to which repeated measurements produce similar results. There are two types of errors - random errors which are due to chance, and systematic errors which have a recognizable source or pattern. Bias is a deviation from the truth that can lead to conclusions that differ from reality. There are three main types of biases: selection bias due to systematic differences between study groups, measurement/misclassification bias from inaccurate measurements, and confounding bias when an extraneous factor is associated with both an exposure and outcome. Confounding can distort the apparent

Sampling Methods in Qualitative and Quantitative ResearchSam Ladner
This document discusses different types of sampling methods used in qualitative and quantitative research. It outlines the different assumptions researchers make regarding sampling in qualitative versus quantitative studies. A variety of sampling techniques are described for different research contexts such as ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and content analysis.
Sampling is the process of selecting a subset of individuals from within a population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. There are several sampling techniques including simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, systematic sampling, and non-probability sampling. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages related to accuracy, cost, and generalizability. Proper sampling helps reduce sampling errors and increase the reliability of making inferences about the population from a sample.
This document discusses sampling techniques used in market research. It distinguishes between a census, which surveys all elements in a population, and a sample, which surveys only a subset of a population. The key steps in sampling are identifying the target population, determining the sampling frame, selecting a sampling technique, and determining sample size. Probability sampling techniques like simple random sampling and systematic sampling are preferred as they allow for statistical generalization to the overall population. Non-probability techniques rely more on researcher judgment.
The document discusses key concepts in sampling, including:
- The target population is the group to which results will be generalized.
- Sampling units are the smallest elements that can be selected from the sampling frame.
- The sampling frame is the list from which potential respondents are drawn.
- Probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling aim to select a representative sample and allow estimates of sampling error. Non-probability methods do not involve random selection.

Javier Garcia - Verdugo Sanchez - Six Sigma Training - W3 Sample Size J. García - Verdugo
A sample size that is too small increases the risks of overlooking important effects and detecting effects that are not truly present. With a larger sample size, the risks decrease but costs and time increase. The key factors in determining sample size are the desired power, significance level, expected effect size, and standard deviation. Sample size calculators can then determine the necessary sample for a given hypothesis test based on specifying values for these factors.
The document discusses various probability and non-probability sampling techniques. The five main probability techniques are simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, systematic sampling, and multi-stage sampling. Non-probability techniques include convenience sampling, purposive sampling, snowball sampling, and quota sampling. Probability sampling aims to give all individuals an equal, random chance of selection to obtain a representative sample, while non-probability techniques use subjective judgment which can introduce selection bias.

This document discusses key concepts in quantitative research methods including research, samples, populations, random and non-random sampling techniques. It defines research as a careful investigation to discover new facts or interpret existing facts. A sample is a subset of a population used to gain insights about the whole. Random sampling methods like simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling aim to select representative samples, while non-random methods like convenience and purposive sampling are not generalizable. The document also discusses qualitative research and purposive sampling techniques.
This document discusses various concepts related to epidemiology and epidemiological study designs. It defines epidemiology and its phases. It discusses observational and experimental study designs including descriptive studies, case-control studies, cohort studies, randomized control trials and field trials. It explains key epidemiological terms like target population, sampling, and probability and non-probability sampling techniques.
sampling in research, a written report which consists of the following: definitions and terminologies, the sampling types and methods, the sampling process, the sampling storage, and sampling errors.
This document defines key concepts in probability and non-probability sampling. It explains that probability sampling uses random selection to select samples from a population, with four main types listed: simple random sampling, stratified sampling, systematic sampling, and cluster sampling. Non-probability sampling relies on the researcher's judgment rather than random selection, with common types being convenience sampling, consecutive sampling, quota sampling, judgmental sampling, and snowball sampling. Examples are provided to illustrate each sampling technique.
The document discusses different sampling techniques used in research. It describes probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling which allow statistical inferences about a population. Non-probability sampling techniques include convenience sampling, snowball sampling, and purposive sampling which rely on the researcher's judgment. The key differences between probability and non-probability sampling are that probability sampling reduces bias by randomly selecting participants while non-probability sampling does not assign equal chance of selection.
This document discusses different sampling methods used in research studies. It describes probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling. It explains that probability sampling allows for statistical measurement of random error. The document also covers non-probability sampling methods including convenience sampling, quota sampling, judgmental sampling, snowball sampling, and self-selection sampling. These do not allow for statistical measurement of variability and bias. The key sampling methods and their advantages and disadvantages are summarized.
This document discusses different sampling methods used in research. It defines population and sample, and explains that sampling is used to select a subset of a population when the entire population is too large. There are two main types of sampling: probability sampling and non-probability sampling. Probability sampling uses random selection and allows results to be generalized to the population, while non-probability sampling relies on the researcher's judgment and results cannot be generalized. Specific probability sampling methods described include simple random sampling, systematic random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, and multistage sampling. Non-probability sampling methods mentioned are convenience sampling, snowball sampling, quota sampling, and judgmental sampling.
This document discusses various sampling methods used in research. It defines key terms like population, element, sampling unit, and sample. It describes probability sampling methods like random sampling, systematic sampling, and stratified sampling. It also covers non-probability methods like convenience sampling, judgment sampling, quota sampling, and snowball sampling. The document provides details on how to implement these various sampling techniques and discusses factors to consider for determining sample size.
This document discusses sampling methods and techniques. It defines key terms like population, sample, random sampling, and non-random sampling. Random sampling techniques include table of random numbers, lottery sampling, and systematic sampling. Non-random techniques include accidental, quota, and convenience sampling. The optimal sample size depends on factors like cost, time, and desired accuracy. Random sampling is preferred when possible as it avoids selection bias and better represents the population. Proper planning is important to define the population, sampling unit, and method.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
