In cases where the risk of manipulation is low, systematic sampling is preferable to simple random sampling for its ease of use. However, if there is a high risk of data manipulation—for example ...

An example of this is an investigation into whether the growth of seaweed depends upon the distance it is found on the seashore from the tide. We would use systematic sampling as we are looking to ...

The main purpose of this paper is to present the developments in systematic sampling posterior to the review by Buckland (1951). Emphasis is given to recent asymptotic and optimality results in the ...

Systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling are other types of sampling approaches that may be used instead of simple random sampling.

PPS Systematic Sampling If you specify the option METHOD=PPS_SYS, PROC SURVEYSELECT selects units by systematic random sampling with probability proportional to size. Systematic sampling selects units ...

In particular, two-dimensional extensions of known approximate variance estimators used in linear systematic sampling are introduced. These almost new variance estimators have the advantage of taking ...
