This paper presents preliminary results of an empirical study of probability sampling designs based on the study of seven attributes of collared rimsherds from six totally or almost totally excavated ...

For unequal probability sampling designs, design-based variance estimation is cumbersome because it requires second-order inclusion probabilities. For most fixed sample size probability ...

Survey research is an important form of scientific inquiry1 that merits rigorous design and analysis.2 The aim of a survey is to gather reliable and unbiased data from a representative sample of ...

Outcome-dependent sampling designs are strategic methodologies in longitudinal research that prioritise the selection of study subjects based on observed outcomes. Rather than relying on random ...

Sample space and events, probability measure and probability space, random variable as a measurable function, distribution function of a random variable, discrete and continuous-type random variable, ...
