Multistage sampling is a complex form of cluster sampling that involves multiple stages of sampling. It has advantages like being effective for primary data collection while being cost and time effective with flexibility. However, it can be subjective and findings may not fully represent the population. Purposive sampling selects elements based on the research purpose and objectives, being moderately cost effective but more biased. Snowball sampling is a non-probability technique where current subjects refer new subjects, allowing hidden populations to be reached cost effectively with little planning. However, bias from oversampling networks can occur and errors and representatives cannot be determined.
