Best Answer

In a cluster sample, researchers divide subjects into strata (like cities, for example), randomly select a few strata (draw the names of a few cities from a hat) and sample every subject in those strata (question everyone in that city.)

A significant disadvantage is that you may select strata that completely overlook a feature relevant to your study.

If your study polled "What is the importance of agriculture to our country's economy?" and you questioned people from New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles, your data may be bias because it does not include opinion from more rural areas.

What statistical tests can I use on data collected from quota samples?

You can use statistical tests appropriate for categorical data, such as chi-square tests or Fisher's exact test for associations between variables. For continuous data, you can use t-tests or non-parametric tests like Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test. It's important to consider the limitations of quota sampling in interpreting the results.


How do you overcome limitations of stacks in polygon filling?

You overcome limitations of the stack in polygon filling, or in any other algorithm, far that matter, but using an iterative technique, rather than a recursive technique. Recursion is quite useful, and can simplify algorithm design. Polygon filling, however, is a class of algorithm can potentially have a very deep recursion depth. This causes stress on the stack, hence the need for iteration.
