Study Notes
- Non-probability sampling is a method of selecting units from a population using a subjective, non-random approach.
- It is faster, easier, and less expensive than probability sampling as it does not require a complete survey frame.
- However, drawing conclusions about the population from the sample requires the assumption that it is representative.
- This assumption can be risky due to the difficulty of assessing its validity.
- No way to estimate the probability of an element being included or ensure that each item has a chance of being included.
- Convenience sampling is the most common type of non-probability sampling, where units are selected based on ease and accessibility.
- Official statistical agencies prefer probability sampling for population information, but non-probability data may have challenges with data quality due to participation and selection bias.
