Unreferenced date July 2007 In audit ing, sampling is an inevitable means of testing. However, sampling is always associated with sampling risks which auditors have to control. Sampling risk represents the possibility that auditor s conclusion based on a sample is different from that reached if the entire population were subject to audit procedure. The auditor may conclude that material misstatements exist, in fact they do not or material misstatements do not exist but in fact they do exist. Auditor can lower the sampling risk by increasing the Sample size sampling size . Non sampling risk includes factors that cause auditors to reach a conclusion other than the sampling size. Interpreting Misinterpretation of evidence and inappropriate Procedure term procedures are good examples. Changing of the sampling size would not reduce non sampling risk.

In the theory of finite population sampling , Bernoulli sampling is a sampling process where each element of the statistical population population that is sampled is subjected to an statistical independence independent Bernoulli trial which determines whether the element becomes part of the sample during the drawing of a single sample. An essential property of Bernoulli sampling is that all elements of the population have equal probability of being included in the sample during the drawing of a single sample. Bernoulli sampling is therefore a special case of Poisson sampling , where each element of the population may have a different probability of being included in the sample. Because each element of the population is considered separately for the sample, the sample size is not fixed but rather follows a binomial distribution .

Refimprove date October 2009 sampling statistics Sampling is the use of a subset of the population statistics population to represent the whole population. Probability sampling, or random sampling , is a sampling technique in which the probability of getting any particular sample may be calculated. Nonprobability sampling does not meet this criterion and should be used with caution. Nonprobability sampling techniques cannot be used to infer from the sample to the general population. Any generalizations obtained from a nonprobability sample must be filtered through one s knowledge of the topic being studied. Performing nonprobability sampling is considerably less expensive than doing probability sampling, but the results are of limited value. Examples of nonprobability sampling include Convenience, Haphazard or Accidental sampling members of the population are chosen based on their relative ease of access. To sample friends, co workers, or shoppers at a single mall, are all examples of convenience sampling . Snowball sampling The first respondent refers a friend. The friend also refers a friend, etc. Judgmental sampling or Purposive sampling The researcher chooses the sample based on who they think would be appropriate for the study.

Quota sampling is a method for selecting survey participants. In quota sampling, a population is first segmented into mutually exclusive sub groups, just as in stratified sampling . Then judgment is used to select the subjects or units from each segment based on a specified proportion. For example, an interviewer may be told to sample 200 females and 300 males between the age of 45 and 60. This means that individuals can put a demand on who they want to sample targeting This second step makes the technique non probability sampling. In quota sampling, the selection of the sample is non random unlike random sampling and can often be found unreliable. For example interviewers might be tempted to interview those people in the street who look most helpful, or may choose to use accidental sampling to question those closest to them, for time keeping sake. The problem is that these samples may be biased because not everyone gets a chance of selection. This non random element is its greatest weakness and quota versus probability has been a matter of controversy for many years. Quota sampling is useful when time is limited, a sampling frame is not available, the research budget is very tight or when detailed accuracy is not important. You can also choose how many of each category is selected. This is the non probability version of stratified sampling. Subsets are chosen and then either convenience or judgment sampling is used to choose people from each subset. Stratified sampling is probably the most commonly used probability method. Subsets of the population are created so that each subset has a common characteristic, such as gender. Random sampling chooses a number of subjects from each subset.

In the theory of finite population sampling , Poisson sampling is a sampling statistics sampling process where each element of the statistical population population that is sampled is subjected to an statistical independence independent Bernoulli trial which determines whether the element becomes part of the sample during the drawing of a single sample. Each element of the population may have a different probability of being included in the sample. The probability of being included in a sample during the drawing of a single sample is denoted as the first order inclusion probability of that element. If all first order inclusion probabilities are equal, Poisson sampling becomes equivalent to Bernoulli sampling , which can therefore be considered to be a special case of Poisson sampling. A mathematical consequence of Poisson sampling Mathematically, the first order inclusion probability of the i th element of the population is denoted by the symbol sub i sub and the second order inclusion probability that a pair consisting of the i th and j th element of the population that is sampled is included in a sample during the drawing of a single sample is denoted by sub ij sub .

Theoretical sampling refers to the process of choosing new research sites or cases to compare with ones that have already been studied. It is one of the tools of qualitative research . The term was coined by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss in 1967. The goal of theoretical sampling is not the same as with the sampling statistics probabilistic sampling the researcher s goal is not the representative capture of all possible variations, but to gain a deeper understanding of analysed cases and facilitate the development of analytic frame and concept s used in their research. Theoretical sampling can be viewed as a technique of data triangulation using independent pieces of information to get a better fix on something that is only partially known or understood.

Multistage sampling is a complex form of cluster sampling . Using all the sample elements in all the selected clusters may be prohibitively expensive or not necessary. Under these circumstances, multistage cluster sampling becomes useful. Instead of using all the elements contained in the selected clusters, the researcher randomly selects elements from each cluster. Constructing the clusters is the first stage. Deciding what elements within the cluster to use is the second stage. The technique is used frequently when a complete list of all members of the population does not exist and is inappropriate. In some cases, several levels of cluster selection may be applied before the final sample elements are reached. For example, household surveys conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics begin by dividing metropolitan regions into collection districts , and selecting some of these collection districts first stage . The selected collection districts are then divided into blocks, and blocks are chosen from within each selected collection district second stage . Next, dwellings are listed within each selected block, and some of these dwellings are selected third stage . This method means that it is not necessary to create a list of every dwelling in the region, only for selected blocks. In remote areas, an additional stage of clustering is used, in order to reduce travel requirements. http www.abs.gov.au AUSSTATS abs .nsf Latestproducts 25EBCE8C88824592CA25710E007321C3?opendocument Although cluster sampling and stratified sampling bear some superficial similarities, they are substantially different.

In statistics , stratified sampling is a method of sampling statistics sampling from a Population statistics population . When populations vary, it is advantageous to sample each subpopulation stratum independently. Stratification is the process of dividing members of the population into homogeneous subgroups before sampling. The strata should be mutually exclusive every element in the population must be assigned to only one stratum. The strata should also be collectively exhaustive no population element can be excluded. Then random or systematic sampling is applied within each stratum. This often improves the representativeness of the sample by reducing sampling error. It can produce a weighted mean that has less variability than the arithmetic mean of a simple random sample of the population. Stratified sampling strategies Proportionate allocation uses a sampling fraction in each of the strata that is proportional to that of the total population. For instance, if the population consists of 60 in the male stratum and 40 in the female stratum, then the relative size of the two samples three males, two females should reflect this proportion. Optimum allocation or Disproportionate allocation ... sampling variance.

Systematic sampling is a statistics statistical method involving the selection of elements from an ordered sampling frame . The most common form of systematic sampling is an equal probability method, in which every k sup th sup element in the frame is selected, where k , the sampling interval sometimes known as the skip , is calculated as ref name ken black india cite book title Business Statistics for Contemporary Decision Making author Ken Black edition Fourth Wiley Student Edition for India publisher Wiley India isbn 9788126508099 year 2004 ref math k frac Nn math where math n math is the sample size, and math N math is the population size. Using this procedure each element in the population has a known and equal probability of selection. This makes systematic sampling functionally similar to simple random sampling . It is however, much more efficient if variance within systematic sample is more than variance of population . The researcher must ensure that the chosen sampling interval does not hide a pattern. Any pattern would threaten randomness. A random starting point must also be selected. Systematic sampling is to be applied only if the given population is logically homogeneous, because systematic sample units are uniformly distributed over the population.
