Multistage sampling involves continuous randomization ie weeding out. Difference between multistage sampling and stratified. Stratified sampling is best when the individuals in the population differ from each other as a whole. Multistage sampling also known as multistage cluster sampling is a more complex form of cluster sampling which contains two or more stages in sample selection. Stratified sampling divides your population into groups and then samples randomly within groups.
In simple terms, in multistage sampling large clusters of population are divided into smaller clusters in several stages in order to make primary data collection more manageable.

Then, one or more clusters are chosen at random and everyone within the chosen cluster is sampled. The strata are regions, fixed in advance, not sampled. Cross validated is a question and answer site for people interested in statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization. Unfortunately, most computer programs generate significance coefficients and confidence intervals based on the assumption of. Both of those assume that we are using the same measurement tool on all of our subjects. As opposed, in cluster sampling initially a partition of study objects is made into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive subgroups, known as a cluster. Sometimes we use a variety of sampling methods together. In this method, the elements from each stratum is selected in proportion to the size of the strata.
