About Stratified Sampling
Stratified sampling divides the population into homogeneous subgroups (strata) and samples from each stratum.
Allocation Methods:
- Proportional: n_h = n × (N_h / N) - Sample sizes proportional to stratum sizes
- Optimal (Neyman): n_h = n × (N_h × σ_h) / Σ(N_h × σ_h) - Accounts for stratum variability
- Equal: Same sample size from each stratum
Stratified sampling often provides more precise estimates than simple random sampling, especially when strata are internally homogeneous.
