  • A survey may refer to many different types or techniques of observation, but in the context of survey sampling it most often refers to a questionnaire used to measure the charateristics and/or attitudes of people. The purpose of sampling is to reduce the cost and/or the amount of work that it would take to survey the entire target population. A survey that measures the entire target population is called a census.

  • Survey sampling is the process of selecting members of a population to be samples of a sample survey. Usually the survey is some type of questionnaire (i.e. in person, phone, or internet survey). Survey sampling includes the following three parts:

• Sample Selection
• Data Collection - collecting the data through mail, phone, in-person, or some other method
• Estimation - using estimators from the collected data to make inferences about the population as a whole.
