Non-probability Sampling

2016
A sample is a subset of a population and we survey the units from the sample with the aim to learn about the entire population. However, the sampling theory was basically developed for probability sampling, where all units in the population have known and positive probabilities of inclusion. This definition implicitly involves randomization, which is a

Sampling: bridging probability and non-probability designs

International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2013
This article reconceptualizes sampling in social research. It is argued that three inter-related a priori assumptions limit on the possibility of sample design, namely: (a) the ontology of the case, (b) the epistemological assumptions underpinning what properties are necessary to know the case and (c) the logistics involved in the process of ‘casing ...

The Importance of Non-Probability Samples in Minority Health Research: Lessons Learned from Studies of Transgender and Gender Diverse Mental Health

Transgender Health, 2022
Non-probability sampling methods utilize nonrandom research participant selection, which may generate study samples that are not representative of the general population.

Comparing Inference Methods for Non‐probability Samples

International Statistical Review, 2018
SummarySocial and economic scientists are tempted to use emerging data sources like big data to compile information about finite populations as an alternative for traditional survey samples. These data sources generally cover an unknown part of the population of interest.

Non-probability Survey Samples

2020
We provide an overview of the emerging topic of non-probability survey samples which has drawn increased attention in the fields of survey methodology and official statistics. We highlight some of the issues in analyzing non-probability survey samples and present some of the methodological advances that have appeared in recent years.

Evaluating the Impact of a Non-Probability Sample-Based Estimator in a Linear Combination with an Estimator from a Probability Sample

Journal of Official Statistics
In this article, the estimators based on data from independent non-probability and probability samples are combined to estimate finite population parameters. Assuming that the values of the study variable are available in both samples, the integration of

Tracing Selection Effects in Three Non-Probability Samples

European Addiction Research, 2005
Snowball sampling and targeted sampling are widely applied techniques to recruit samples from hidden populations, such as problematic drug users. The disadvantage is that they yield non-probability samples which cannot be generalised to the population. Despite thorough preparatory mapping procedures, selection effects continue to occur.
