Παρόλα αυτά, επεξεργάζοντας την τυπολογία του προγράμματος που εφαρμόζεται στην συγκεκριμένη μελέτη παρουσιάζεται μια σύγχυση ως προς τους τύπους προγραμμάτων που θα συμπεριληφθούν. Αφενός, ο τύπος “public affairs programmes” που χρησιμοποιείται εδώ δεν είναι μονοθεματικός αλλά πολυθεματικός τύπος, αφού εμπερικλείει μέσα του υποκατηγορίες τύπων κάτι το οποίο υποδηλώνει και ο ορισμός που προαναφέραμε. Αφετέρου, μια τέτοια προσέγγιση, μεθοδολογικά προϋποθέτει ενδελεχή διαδικασία για το ποιες υποκατηγορίες τύπων ανήκουν στον τύπο – κορωνίδα, γεγονός που θα προκαλεί ερωτήματα ως προς την επιλογή των τύπων που επελέγησαν. (2) Διαφορετική τυπολογική προσέγγιση ακολουθώ στην δική μου έρευνα για την μελέτη της πολυμέρειας στην ελληνική τηλεόραση. Εδώ, ο μελετητής θέλοντας να εξετάσει ένα ευρύτερο φάσμα του προγράμματος προσδιορίζει εν πρώτης την τυπολογία σε εννιά κύριες κατηγορίες. Αφετέρου ορίζονται εικοσιένα τύποι προγράμματος οι οποίοι κατηγοριοποιούνται στις κύριες κατηγορίες για διευκόλυνση ελέγχου και σύμπτυξης του δείγματος. Η προσέγγιση αυτή ξεφεύγει από τον μονοθεματικό τύπο της κατηγοριοποίησης και έχει ως σκοπό την μελέτη της πολυμέρειας στο ευρύτερό της φάσμα χρησιμοποιώντας τόσους τύπους ώστε να καλύπτεται –αν είναι δυνατόν- όλη η ροή του προγράμματος.

clustering the sample
14 years in market research...
The "sample"/δείγμα is the total number of records, which is fixed and finite.
If the sample is split into 21 groups, each group will be quite small, and there will be a large "margin of error" in any conclusions you draw from it. If, however, you cluster the sample into just 9 sub-sets, each one will contain a larger number of records and any conclusions drawn will have a higher statistical validity.

Of course, this methodology runs the risk of introducing entirely new errors by virtue of creating inappropriate "clusters". But that's a matter for the researcher, not for the linguists.

limitation of the sample
... to facilitate the control and limitation of the sample. Not a literal translation, but I think that is the intended sense.

: "limiting" the sample suggests either reducing the number of records (which reduces reliability) or only looking at a limited section of the sample (but he has already said that he wants to examine a broader spectrum)

: I think he wants to decrease the number of sub-sets (to ease analysis and increase accuracy), not decrease the total number (which is what "sample size" means)

I've seen the word συσταδοποίηση for clustering, but you may be right.
