1 IPDET Module 9: Sampling Sampling Intervention or Policy Evaluation Questions Design Approaches Data Collection Intro Concepts Types Confidence/ Precision? How Large?
2 Introduction Introduction to Sampling Sample Concepts Types of Samples: Random and Non- Random How Confident and Precise Do You Need to Be? How Large a Sample Do You Need? IPDET 2 2
3 Sampling Is it possible to collect data from the entire population? (census) If so, we can talk about what is true for the entire population Often we cannot (time/cost) If not, we can use a smaller subset: a SAMPLE IPDET 3 3
4 Concepts Population the total set of units Sample a subset of the population Sampling Frame list from which to select your sample IPDET 4 4
5 More Sampling Concepts Sample Design methods of sampling (probability or nonprobability) Parameter characteristic of the population Statistic characteristic of a sample IPDET 5 5
6 Random Sample A random sample allows us to make estimates about the larger population based on what we learn from the subset Advantages: eliminates selection bias able to generalize to the population cost-effective IPDET 6 6
7 Types of Random Samples Simple random sample Stratified random sample Multi-stage random sample Cluster random sample IPDET 7 7
8 Simple Random Sample Simplest Establish a sample size and proceed to randomly select units until we reach the sample size IPDET 8 8
9 Stratified Random Sample Use when specific groups must be included that might otherwise be missed by using a simple random sample usually a small proportion of the population IPDET 9 9
10 Stratified Random Sample Total Population subpopulation subpopulation simple random sample simple random sample sub-population simple random sample IPDET 10 10
11 Cluster Sample Another form of random sampling Any naturally occurring aggregate of the units that are to be sampled that are used when: you do not have a complete list of everyone in the population of interest but have a list of the clusters in which they occur or you have a complete list of everyone, but they are so widely distributed that it would be too time consuming and expensive to send data collectors out to a simple random sample IPDET 11 11
12 Multi-stage Sample Combines two or more forms of random sampling Most commonly, it begins with random cluster sampling and then applies sample random sampling or stratified random sampling IPDET 12 12
13 Drawback of Cluster and Multi-stage Sampling May not yield an accurate representation of the population IPDET 13 13
14 Summary of Random Sampling Process Step Process 1 Obtain a complete listing of the entire population 2 Assign each case a number 3 Randomly select the sample using a random numbers table 4 When no numbered listing exists or is not practical to create: take a random start select every n th case IPDET 14 14
15 Non-Random Samples Can be more focused Can help make sure a small sample is representative Cannot make inferences to a larger population IPDET 15 15
16 Types of Non-Random Samples quota snowball judgmental convenience set number from each subset ask people who else you should interview set criteria to achieve a specific mix of participants whoever is easiest to contact or whatever is easiest to observe IPDET 16 16
17 Non-Random Sampling Issues People selected in a biased way? Are they substantially different from the rest of the population? collect some data to show that the people selected are fairly similar to the larger population (e.g. demographics) IPDET 17 17
18 Combinations: Random and Non-Random Example: Non-randomly select two schools from poorest communities and two from the wealthiest communities Select a random sample of students from these four schools IPDET 18 18
19 Possibility of Error Sample different from the population? Statistics: data derived from random samples IPDET 19 19
20 How Confident Do You Wish to Be? Confidence level E.g., 90% (90% certain your sample results are an estimate of the population as a whole) The higher confidence level, the larger sample needed IPDET 20 20
21 Confidence Standard Standard is 95% 19 of 20 samples would have found similar results we are 95% certain that the population parameter is somewhere between the lower and upper confidence interval calculated from the sample IPDET 21 21
22 Confidence Interval Sometimes called sampling error or margin of error Example: in polls 48% for, 52% against, with (+/- 3%) actually means 45% to 51% for and 49% to 55% against Also known as precision or margin of error IPDET 22 22
23 Sample Size By increasing sample size, you increase accuracy and decrease margin of error The smaller the population, the larger the needed ratio of the sample size to the population size Aim for is a 95% confidence level and a ±5% confidence level IPDET 23 23
24 Sample Sizes for Large Populations Precision Confidence Level 99% 95% 90% ±1% 16,576 9,604 6,765 ±2% 4,144 2,401 1,691 ±3% 1,848 1, ±5% IPDET 24 24
