Course Objective

The aims of the course are teaching basic ideas of sampling from an applied perspective and providing experience with real life problems. The course will cover the main techniques used in sampling practice: simple random sampling, stratification, systematic sampling, cluster sampling, multistage sampling and probability proportional to size sampling. These methods will be examined further in the context of sample designs. The course will also cover sampling frames, cost models and sampling error estimation techniques.
