CONVENIENCE JUDGMENT QUOTA SNOWBALL
CONVIENCE SAMPLING
Obtaining a sample of people or units that are most convenient.
JUDGMENT SAMPLING
Selecting a sample based on judgment of an individual about some appropriate characteristics required from the sample member.
QUOTA SAMPLING
Requires that the various subgroups in a population are represented . It should not be confused with stratified sampling.
SNOWBALL SAMPLING
Requires additional respondents are obtained from information provided by the initial sample of respondents.
JUDGMENT SAMPLING
Selecting a sample based on judgment of an individual about some is appropriate.
WEIGHTING PROCESS
Assign a weight that is equal to the inverse of its probability of selection. In this case, where all sample elements have had the same chance of selection, given the same weight: 1. (This is called self-weighting sample)
WEIGHTING EXAMPLE
Unweighted Sample
Nonwhite White Total
Nonwhite Female weight =7.2/12.3=0.59 Nonwhite Male weight =3.8/9.8=0.39 White Female weight = 57.7/56.7=1.02 White Male weight = 31.2/21.2=1.47
