Abstract

Single-stage probability sampling methods are used when a complete list of all population units is available and the list is used as the sampling frame for the probability selection of units for the survey sample. The sampling units are the same as the individual population units. The term single-stage distinguishes this kind of sampling from two-stage or multi-stage sampling methods to be discussed in Chap. 3, where the first stage sampling units are clusters.
