What sampling methods can be used to collect data?

The sampling methods that can be used when collecting data are as follows:

1. Simple random sampling: it is the most basic sampling method and the basis of other sampling methods. That is, the research objects are numbered first, and then sampled by random number table or lottery, touching the ball, computer lottery and so on. This method can only be used when the number of samples is small.

2. Systematic sampling: This method is to extract one unit from every certain number of mechanical units in a certain order, which is also called interval sampling or mechanical sampling.

3. Stratified sampling: Firstly, the subjects were divided into several layers according to their main characteristics (gender, age, occupation, education level, disease severity, etc.). ), and then randomly sampled at all levels to form a survey sample.

4. Cluster sampling: When sampling by this method, it is not individuals, but groups (i.e. groups) composed of individuals. In other words, the whole group is divided into several "groups", and each group contains several observation objects, such as villages, workshops, classes and so on. These groups are randomly selected from the same type of groups, and all the members of the unit are the research objects.
