Preferred Label : multistage sampling;
IUPAC definition : Samples taken in a series of steps with the sampling portions constituting the sample
(units or increments) at each step being selected from the larger or greater number
of portions of the previous step, or from a primary or composite sample. The first
set of portions (units or increments) taken from the population available for sampling
is the primary sample. The subsequent samples (secondary, tertiary, etc.) are the
sets of subsamples, units, items, individuals or increments taken from the preceding
step. The units may be different steps of multistage sampling (e.g. pallets, cases,
packages).;
