1. The Norwegian Anders Nicolai Ki�r introduced the concept of stratified sampling in 1895. 2. A real-world example of using stratified sampling would be for a political survey. 3. This contrasts with stratified sampling where the main objective is to increase precision. 4. In stratified sampling , the analysis is done on elements within strata. 5. There are, however, some potential drawbacks to using stratified sampling . 6. For this reason, benchmarking is generally used in situations where stratified sampling is impractical. 7. Greater perceived fairness can be added by using stratified sampling . 8. "' Recursive stratified sampling "'is a generalization of one-dimensional adaptive quadratures to multi-dimensional integrals. 9. Although cluster sampling and stratified sampling bear some superficial similarities, they are substantially different. 10. VEGAS incorporates a number of additional features, and combines both stratified sampling and importance sampling.
