Therefore, this kind of sampling method is inadvisable when used for a representative study. The online survey with snowball sampling is, of course, not able to deliver representative results. However, it can be easily used when we know the basic population and have online access to its ...
This second-stage focus group approach with experts from both sectors, we expected, would amend our insights and give us further clues regard- ing the soundness and validity of our initial theoretical concept which was derived from separate-sectored focus groups. Sampling Method. The sampling had...
A method for measuring the comparability of different sampling methods used in biological surveys: implications for data integration and synthesis. Freshwater Biology 50 (6), 1105-1115.Cao, Y., C. P. Hawkins, and A. W. Storey. 2005. A method for measuring the comparability of dif- ferent ...
On the one hand, we find limitations related to the sample, including a smaller sample size in some groups (children, adolescents, and the elderly) and the type of sampling (convenience sampling). Furthermore, as it is a cross-sectional study, we do not take into account the effect of ...
(marginal permutational multivariate analysis of variance on Jaccard index,R2 = 0.52,F = 2.38 andP = 0.001). Microbiota composition also varied temporally, with sampling month explaining 5% of compositional variation in the same analysis (R2 = 0.05,F = 1.67 andP = ...
The configuration in the AutoSpike properties tab for the channel with the electrophysiology probe was set at a sampling rate of 100 and a filter of 0–32 Hz. The responses (amplitudes) to the treatments were expressed as the mean of all recorded antennal depolarizations. A total of 10 ...
particular major at a particular institution (e.g., all students studying mathematics at the University of Cologne). This sampling strategy resulted in 444 realized clusters, 52 of which consisted only of teacher candidates (Zinn et al.,2017). Students willing to participate were surveyed starting...

Combining the extra-dipole method and SLiR, we quantitatively predicted the time series of target information from brain regions related to visual attention and eye-movement control. We can objectively investigate what kind of time series of visual-target information is represented in these cortical ...
Choose a sampling method:Different methods can be used depending on the study's objectives. For example, random sampling focuses on fairness, whereas systematic sampling uses regular intervals. Determine the sample size:Thesample sizeneeds to be manageable and large enough to provide reliable results....
