Why

use

cluster

sampling?

-^ May

be^

cheaper

to^

conduct

the

study

if^ elements

are

clustered^ –^ Occurs

when

cost

of^ data

collection

increases

with

distance

between

elements

-^ Household

surveys

using

in‐person

interviews

(household

=^ cluster

of^ people)

-^ Field

data

collection

(plot

=^ cluster

of^ plants

or^ animals)

Cluster

samples

usually

lead

to

less

precise

estimates

-^ Elements

within

clusters

tend

to^

be^ correlated

due

to

exposure

to^

similar

conditions

-^ Members

of^ a

household

-^ Employees

in^ a

business

-^ Plants

or^ soil

within

a^ field

plot

It’s

possible

to

define

clusters

for

improved

precision

-^ Define

clusters

for

which

within

‐cluster

variation

is

high

(rarely

possible)

-^ Make

each

cluster

as^ heterogeneous

as^ possible

-^ Like

making

each

cluster

a^ mini

‐population

that

reflects

variation

in^ population

-^ Part

of^ the

gain

comes

from

improving

the

representativeness

of^ the

sample

-^ Part

of^ the

gain

comes

from

reducing

the

amount

of

correlation

among

elements

in^ the

cluster

-^ Note:

this

is^ opposite

of^ the

approach

to

stratification

-^ Large

variation

among

strata,

homogeneous

within

strata

Defining

clusters

for

improved

precision

-^ Define

clusters

that

are

relatively

small

-^ Extreme

-^ The

gain

comes

from

decreasing

the

number

of
