peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1sampling interval Explanation: Also samp*LE* interval. It's the 'distance' - in this case, in terms of 'number of 'officines a visiter' - between one sample and the next. It would appear that they listed the 108 'officines' contained in the sample in numerical order of their size (as a share of the whole sample size), and then went and visited every fourth officine in that list (e.g. numbers 1,5,9,etc.). |

sampling ratio Explanation: from the reference: The sampling ratio is the size of the sample divided by the size of the population. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2009-08-30 10:56:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually the sampling ratio here would be 1/4 I think. Inverse sampling ratio is 4 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-08-30 11:48:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So: pas de sondage = inverse sampling ratio -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-08-30 14:26:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- from my post in the discussion part, it looks like pas de sondage here (échantillonnage systématique) equals inverse sampling ratio. It may not be the case everywhere. Reference: http://www.analytictech.com/mb313/glossary.htm |

| Reference: Juste une explication Reference information: http://pastel.paristech.org/5137/01/theseRChiky.pdf SONDAGE SYSTÉMATIQUE Parfois appelé échantillonnage par intervalles, l'échantillonnage systématique signifie qu'il existe un écart, ou un intervalle, entre chaque unité sélectionnée qui est incluse dans l'échantillon. On dispose d'un ensemble d'individus dans un ordre fixé. On calcule un nombre appelé "pas de tirage" ou "pas de sondage" : PAS = N/n Pour constituer l'échantillon il faut choisir au hasard (aléatoirement) un entier naturel d entre 1 et PAS (cet entier sera le point de départ), l'individu dont le numéro correspond à d est le premier individu, pour sélectionner les autres, il sufft d'ajouter à d le pas de sondage : les individus choisis seront alors ceux dont les numéros correspondent à d + PAS, d + 2PAS, d + 3PAS etc. Si la population est distribuée au hasard dans la base de sondage, un échantillonnage systématique donnera des résultats similaires à ceux d'un échantillonnage aléatoire simple |
