Probabilistic Sample

Quantitative researchers need a probabilistic sample to generalise their findings, but research constraints often compel them to use non-probabilistic samples. The use of non-probability sampling methods in quantitative studies has therefore become a norm. Interestingly, even studies published in top-quality journals compromise best practices that the use of non-probabilistic samples requires. Based on a thorough review of relevant studies, we developed a typology of non-probability sampling methods used in quantitative health studies. An attempt was made to discuss the limit of inference under each type of non-probability sampling method. Non-probability sampling in quantitative research was also delineated as a way to maximise response rate. This study is expected to guide students and early career epidemiologists to understand how to apply non-probabilistic sampling methods in quantitative approaches and plausibly document or report their chosen methods.

Probability Methods

In this chapter, students are presented with two distinct methods of choosing which units of analysis that represent a broader population will be included in a study. Multiple probability and non-probability sampling techniques are discussed. Upon reading this chapter, students will understand how to draw a random sample and the inherent advantages of probability sampling methods compared to non-probability methods. Concepts such as sampling frame, generalizability, margin of error, and confidence level are discussed. Numerous examples are used throughout.

Experimental Survey

In spite of the establishment of probability sampling methods since the 1930s, non-probability sampling methods have remained popular among many commercial and polling agents, and they have also survived the embarrassment from a few incorrect predictions in American presidential elections. The increase of costs and the decline of response rates for administering probability samples have led some survey researchers to search for a non-probability sampling method as an alternative to probability sampling. In this study we aim to test whether results from a quota sample, believed to be the non-probability sampling method that is the closest in representativeness to probability sampling, are statistically equivalent to those from a probability sample. Further, we pay special attention to the effects of the following two factors for understanding the difference between the two sampling methods: the survey's topic and the response rate. An experimental survey on social capital was conducted in a student society in Northeast England. The results suggest that the survey topic influences who responded and that the response rate was associated with the sample means as well. For these reasons, we do not think quota sampling should be taken as an acceptable alternative to probability sampling.

Sampling Procedures

Generally accepted auditing standards permit auditors to apply both statistical and nonstatistical sampling techniques in obtaining sufficient, competent evidential matter.  However, several recent studies have shown that statistical sampling procedures have nearly disappeared from practice. Despite this trend and the heightened anxiety about professional liability, no studies to date have directly tested the potential implications of sampling method on jurors verdicts, damage awards, or sample size expectations.  In this study we investigate the effect of sampling method on jurors’ judgments in auditor negligence trials.  Overall, in a case where auditors were alleged to have used an insufficient sample size, the sampling method did not affect the likelihood of a “guilty of negligence” verdict.  However, as predicted, damage awards were significantly higher when nonstatistical sampling was used compared with statistical sampling.  Exploratory analysis revealed that subjects voting “guilty of negligence” would require the auditors to examine over 17% of the population (compared with the 1% examined) in order to change their verdict to “not guilty of negligence.”  These findings have troubling implications for auditors employing sampling techniques.
