A Simulation Study of Sampling in Difficult Settings: Statistical Superiority of Little-Used method

2022-09-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Taking a representative sample to determine prevalence of variables such as disease is difficult when little is known about the target population. Several methods have been proposed that apply cluster sampling techniques to Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). The PSUs are typically towns or census tracts. Some methods are based on random walks within towns, e.g., the original World Health Organizati...
