Cluster Sampling
• Most complex method. Often used
in conjunction with stratification and
SRS; this is called multi-stage
sampling
• Frame
– Broken into groups called clusters
– Complete frame is needed only for
clusters that are selected
• It is necessary to know the size of clusters
that are not selected
• Sample size – usually calculated
based on explicit tradeoff between
costs and precision of results
– Calculations more complex than with
SRS or stratification because there are
more alternatives
