Stratification
A sampling procedure that divides the sampling frame into mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups (or ‘strata’) and places each element on the frame into one of the groups. Independent selections are then made from each stratum, one by one, to ensure representation of each subgroup on the frame in the sample.
