Biostatistics: 5.

Multi – stage
 Extended version of cluster
(SAMPLING TECHNIQUES) population units are grouped in
- Refers to process of selecting subjects hierarchy of elements & sampling
who will participate in research are done successively
- Probability and Non-probability  Biggest to smallest population

PROBABILITY: NON-PROBABILITY

1. Simple Random 1. Convenience


 Basic and most popular  Designs remain resorted to when
 Equal chance of being chosen it’s extremely difficult to select
2. Systematic random sample
 Involves every nth element in  Takes closest person who are
population until number is desired available
2. Purposive (Judgmental)

 Individual have special
 Example: N = 300; n = 223; nth = qualification
2.24, therefore nth = 2nd element 3. Snowball
(i rround off lang pag totoong  Identification of few persons
round off talaga) whose qualifications meet
3. Stratified purpose of study
 Subdividing population into
subgroups & drawing members at METHODS OF COLLECTING DATA
random from each group in same
1. Nature of the problem
proportion as they exist
2. Population under investigation
population
3. Time & material available
 Example: perception of mmc cast
towards covid vaccine METHODS IN COLLECTING DATA
1. N=1000
2. n=286 1. Direct/Interview Method – most effective
3. Strata: by courses method
a. BSN (N=450) --- 45% Advantages:
b. BSMT (N=300) --- 30% a. Can give complete information
c. BSPT (N=250) --- 25% b. Can yield inaccurate information
4. n=286, times yan c. Interviewer may cheat by turning in
a. BSN 45% = 129 dishonest responses of their
b. BSMT 30% = 86 expected/ desired outcomes
c. BSPT 25% = 71 2. Indirect/Questionnaire Method – Easiest
4. Cluster method in gathering data and common,
 Selection of groups/clusters should be attractive, precise, clear and
rather than individual used when self-explanatory
population is very large & widely Advantages:
spread a. Can be confidential responses
b. Answers obtained are free from any
influence from interviewer
3. Observation method – Data regarding
attitudes, behavior, values, cultural
pattern of sample under investigation
4. Experimental Data – if the investigator
wants to control the factors affecting
variable being studied
5. Registration method – Response
provide information in compliance with
certain laws, policies, rules, regulations
and standards
6. Telephone interview – used when
questions are brief and few

METHODS ON PRESENTING DATA

1. Tabular method
 Presenting rs/comparison of
numerical data
 Precise, systematic & orderly
presentation of data in row &
columns
2. Textural/Textual Method
 Weak means of presentation
(data) the quantitative
comparison/relations among
quantitative/numerical data
attractively & interestingly
3. Graphical Method
 Effective method of presentation
statistical results/findings
a. Pictograph
b. Bar graph – discrete data
c. Pie graph/circle graph
d. Line graph – showing changes in
a period of time
