What is another word for proportional sampling?
Pronunciation: [pɹəpˈɔːʃənə͡l sˈamplɪŋ] (IPA) 
Proportional sampling is a data collection technique that involves selecting a sample from a larger population based on a certain proportion or percentage. Synonyms for proportional sampling include stratified sampling, quota sampling, and probability proportional to size sampling. Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into homogenous strata and selecting a sample from each stratum based on its proportion in the population. Quota sampling is similar to stratified sampling but involves selecting a sample based on pre-determined quotas rather than statistical criteria. Probability proportional to size sampling involves selecting a sample based on the size of each stratum in the population. These synonyms provide alternative approaches for collecting data that is representative of the larger population.
