Notes

  1. A technique to derive population estimates from smaller samples and understand how groups are socially networked. A small number of participants or “seeds” are interviewed, and participants are given three coupons and asked to give them to similar friends/acquaintances like them. Chains develop, and researchers keep track of how groups are networked and ultimately derive population estimates.
