Stratified random sampling is a process whereby certain subgroups are selected for inclusion in the sample.

Equal stratified sampling is a process where the representation of subgroups is equal. Cluster random sampling involves the random sampling of existing groups, or clusters. Multistage random sampling is a combination of cluster random sampling and individual random sampling.
