3. Materials and methods In order to test for effects of research modes in wine consumer research, one face-to-face, one telephone and two online surveys were administered to the German population aged 16 or older, in national surveys consisting of 1000, 2000 and 3000 respondents. The data ...

Probability sampling usesrandom numbersthat correspond to points in the data set. This approach avoids correlations between the data points chosen for the sample. It also ensures that every element within the population has an equal chance of being selected. The following methods are those most com...
Due to this simplicity, data collection takes minimal time. Inexpensive to create samples The money and time invested in other probability sampling methods are quite large compared to convenience sampling. It allows researchers to generate more samples with less or no investment and in a brief ...
While the critical bond-occupation probability ϕc can be computed using numerical23 and analytical methods24,25,26,27, for networks of smaller size and in real-world networks with incomplete data, due to finite size effects these differ from what can be determined by directly simulating the ...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) sampling using an open-faced 25 mm cassette fiber sampling method and a newly developed direct sampling device was evaluated for the size fractioned analysis of collected airborne CNT fibers to improve the sampling and analytical methods. The open-faced 25 mm cassette fib...
elements in the population to observational units in the sample. There are several methods for selecting the sample. The best of these is probability sampling that leads to different kinds of random samples. Sampling is usually a multistage process and can involve different sampling methods at each...
Liquid impingers are the most frequent devices that are applied for the collection of viral aerosols. Also, many methods including precipitation, ultracentrifugation, electronegative membrane, and ultrafiltration have been used to prepare samples of food, wastewater, feces, urine, and surfaces. In many...
