Many epidemiologic studies forgo probability sampling and turn to nonprobability volunteer-based samples because of cost, response burden, and invasiveness of biological samples. However, finite ...

With few exceptions, much of sexual science builds upon data from opportunistic nonprobability samples of limited generalizability. Although probability-based studies are considered the gold standard ...

One possible explanation for the variability in estimates across the different nonprobability samples is the range of methods that online sample vendors employ. They differ on recruitment, weighting ...

Nonprobability samples and self-selected group memberships are frequent aspects of "people data" that analysts must navigate to infer the proper conclusions. The application of randomization tests or ...

Comparison of probability (simple random sampling) and non-probability sampling (convenience sampling) methods. R code for simulating a convenient sample, simple random sample, and compare bias and ...

Nonprobability online panels, where the predominant mode of data collection is computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI), account for the vast majority of worldwide survey research that is carried out ...
