First used by Tryon (1939) encompasses a number of different algorithms and methods for grouping objects of similar kind into respective categories. Two-stage Cluster Sampling When Clusters are of Unequal Size Desired Sample Proportion p=n/N a: Desired # of Clusters Selected in the 1st Stage A: Total # of Clusters b: Sample Size within Each Cluster Selected Ni : # of Elements in Cluster i Simple Two-stage Cluster Sampling The First-stage Prob. p1=a/A The Second-stage Prob. p2=p?(a/A) Sample size in cluster I, ni =p2*Ni Probability Proportional to Size Example Draw a sample of 1,000
