16、Survey samplingiv ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 3534-4:2014ISO 3534-4:2014(E)IntroductionSurvey sampling is essentially a strategy of planning for the collection of information on a population. In cases where all entities in the population can be listed, statistical methodologies of sampling wi
17、thout replacement play a key role. The design of a survey and its implementation depends on the type of questions to be addressed, the degree of generality to be attached to the conclusions, and ultimately, the resources available for conducting the survey and analysis of the results.Political polls
18、, customer satisfaction surveys, and personal interviews are pervasive in modern society as mechanisms to provide decision makers with information to formulate or to adjust their strategies. The news media frequently reports results from sampling efforts that typically address a countrys pulse with
19、regard to political leadership. This is by no means a recent phenomenon as sampling (especially census work) has occurred for thousands of years. Survey sampling as a general methodology and finite population sampling as its rigorous theoretical basis are the subject areas of this part of ISO 3534.T
20、he methodology of survey sampling consists of a process of selecting a sample of items from a population, measuring these items, and then estimating population characteristics based on the results from the sample. Reference 4 has defined the concept of a survey with the following description.1) A su
21、rvey concerns a set of items comprising the population.2) A survey involves a population having one or more measurable properties.3) A survey has an objective to describe the population according to one or more parameters defined in terms of these properties.4) A survey requires operationally a repr
22、esentation of the population (frame) such as a list of items in order to facilitate the measurements on individual items.5) A survey is applied to a subset of items from the frame that are selected according to a sampling design consisting of a sample size and a probability mechanism for selection.6
23、) A survey proceeds via extracting measurements of the items in the sample.7) A survey needs an associated estimation process to obtain parameter estimates for the population.This brief introduction by no means captures all of the subtleties and advancements in survey sampling that have evolved over
24、 the centuries and especially in the past several decades with improved computational capabilities. Advancements have progressed in tandem with real applications.Some definitions in this part of ISO 3534 are adopted from ISO 3534-1:2006 or ISO 3534-2:2006. If the adopted definition is identical with
25、 the original one, reference in square brackets is added to the definition and if some differences exist, they are noted.

28、 3 Terms and DefinitionsFor the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 3534-1:2006 and ISO 3534-2:2006 and the following apply.3.1 General terms3.1.1populationtotality of items under considerationSOURCE: ISO 3534-1:2006, 1.1Note 1 to entry: A population can be real and fin
29、ite, real and infinite, or completely hypothetical. Of particular interest in this part of ISO 3534 is a finite population (3.1.2). Much of the field of sample survey (3.1.20) concerns finite populations. The term population has superceded the term universe in usage. Population should be construed t
30、o involve a fixed point in time, as populations can evolve over time.3.1.2finite populationpopulation (3.1.1) which consists of a limited number of itemsNote 1 to entry: Survey sampling (3.1.21) concentrates solely on applications with a finite number of items in the population. The number of items
31、could be very large (for example, hybrid automobiles in Europe, artefacts in a museum, sheep in New Zealand) but their number is finite. The number of items in the population is generally denoted as N. The specific value of N may or may not be known explicitly prior to conducting the survey.EXAMPLE
32、1 The registry of citizens of a country is an example of a finite population with a known size.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3534-4:2014(E) ISO 2014 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 3534-4:2014ISO 3534-4:2014(E)EXAMPLE 2 Although, generally, the population size N is known in advance, this situation need not
33、 be the case. For example, the proportion of hybrid cars is of interest and observations could be taken at a checkpoint (e.g. toll booth or toll plaza). The number of cars that pass through the booth on a given day would not be known in advance, although the investigators would likely have a rough i
34、dea of the number from previous history. Perhaps a digital photo is taken of a select number of these vehicles to determine if they are hybrid cars.3.1.3subpopulationwell-defined subset of the population (3.1.1)Note 1 to entry: Sample surveys (3.1.20) often have multiple objectives. Although the pri
35、mary objective may concern the population as a whole, it is possible that select subsets are also of interest. For the example noted in 3.1.2, hybrid vehicles or, alternatively, sub-compact automobiles, comprise subpopulations that may warrant particular interest. In some situations, the actual size
36、 of the subpopulation is unknown (e.g. number of teen-aged children among tourists visiting EuroDisney) and the interest may centre on estimating this value.Note 2 to entry: In ISO 3534-2:2006, 1.2.3, the definition of subpopulation is “part of a population.” For survey sampling (3.1.21), subpopulat
37、ions that are well defined (specifically identifiable) are of primary interest rather than consideration of arbitrary “parts” of a population.EXAMPLE Children in school in a province constitute a subpopulation of residents of the province. Working adults in the province is another subpopulation amon
38、g the residents of the province. Of interest but likely to be more difficult to identify are homeless people in the province. The size of such a subpopulation is usually unknown.3.1.4superpopulationexpanded population (3.1.1) that includes the population of interestNote 1 to entry: For inferential o
39、r assessment purposes, it can prove useful to imagine that the population of interest is embedded in a larger population having the base population as a special case. Such a theoretical construct facilitates the development of optimal sampling designs (3.1.28) and allows the calculation of sampling
40、design properties. The population of values can be treated as a random sample (3.1.10) from a hypothetical superpopulation as opposed to a set of fixed values from which random selection is used to constitute a sample (3.1.8). According to Reference 2, the superpopulation concept can be given severa
41、l interpretations. One of the interpretations is that the finite population (3.1.2) is actually drawn from a larger universe. This is the superpopulation concept in its purest form. The superpopulation approach can be a useful device for incorporating the treatment of non-sampling errors (3.2.10) in
42、 survey sampling (3.1.21).EXAMPLE For a stable country (consistent political boundaries without immigration or emigration), a superpopulation could be the citizenry over the centuries. Thus, a decennial census (3.1.19) in such a country could reflect an individual observation from its population siz
43、e at a specific time.3.1.5sampling unitunitone of the individual parts into which a population (3.1.1) is dividedSOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 1.2.14Note 1 to entry: A population consists of a number of sampling units. The population could be divided into groups of units which are distinct, non-overlappi
44、ng, identifiable, observable, and convenient for sampling. Depending on the circumstances, the smallest part of interest can be an individual, a voucher, a household, a school district, or an administrative unit. This definition allows for the possibility in complex settings to have distinct samplin
45、g units comprised of varying number of units. At a high level, the sampling unit could be school districts. Within various school districts, the sampling unit could be individual households. Within a household, the sampling unit could be school-age children.Note 2 to entry: Every element of the popu
46、lation should belong to exactly one sampling unit. In some cases, the population consists of individual elements, subunits, or items, but owing to the purpose of the sampling study, it may be appropriate to group the individual elements into higher-level entities which then are treated as the sampli
47、ng unit of interest. For instance, the grouping could constitute clusters (3.1.6), each of which consists of a set of elements.2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 3534-4:2014ISO 3534-4:2014(E)EXAMPLE In a multi-stage sampling (3.1.40) project, the first stage could use provinces as the primary samp
48、ling units. In the second stage, the sampling units could be counties. In the third stage, the sampling units could be incorporated towns.3.1.6clusterpart of a population (3.1.1) divided into mutually exclusive groups related in a certain mannerNote 1 to entry: For economies of sampling (3.1.16), it
49、 may be much more efficient to sample collections of sampling units (3.1.5) that constitute clusters. Cluster sampling (3.1.38) is useful when the frame of sampling units is not available. Cluster sampling can also be an integral part of multi-stage sampling (3.1.40), where a first-level stage is given by towns, followed by a stage with apartment/condominium buildings as the next level cluster, and then finally specific floors/stages/levels of the building. At the lowest level stage, all sampling units are examined.Note 2 to ent
