Study Notes
Methods of Collecting Primary Data
- Experiment, Survey, Observation, and Case Study are methods of collecting primary data.
- Interview is not mentioned, but it is also a method of collecting primary data.
Sampling Concept
- Sampling is a process of selecting a subset of units, called sample, from a larger population, called universe.
Sampling Methods
- Without replacement sampling method involves selecting a sample where each element is not replaced after selection, also known as Non-Random Sampling or Systematic Sampling.
- Other sampling methods include Random Sampling, Stratified Random Sampling, Cluster Sampling, and Probability Proportional to Size Sampling.
Stratified Random Sampling
- In Stratified Random Sampling, the population is divided into smaller groups, called strata, based on common characteristics.
- Ratio Estimator is used to estimate the population mean and total in Stratified Random Sampling.
Design of Experiments
- The fundamental principles of a design in the context of design of experiments include Replication, Randomization, and Local Control.
- Replication ensures reliability of results, Randomization minimizes bias, and Local Control reduces experimental errors.
Design of Experiments (continued)
- The design that involves dividing the experimental units into homogeneous blocks before assigning treatments is called Randomized Block Design (RBD).
- RBD is used to reduce the experimental error and increase the precision of results.
