Doyle, Kenneth O., Jr.

New Directions for Institutional Advancement, No. 6 (Surveying Institutional Constituencies) p27-44 1979

The basic vocabulary of sampling (population, probability sampling, precision and bias, stratification), the fundamental grammar of sampling (random sample), sample size and response rate, and cluster, multiphase, snowball, and panel sampling are defined.
