Title: Selection of Work Sampling Observation Times: Part I—Stratified Sampling
Abstract: Abstract Various methods of selecting observation times in work sampling studies are presented, including simple random, systematic, and stratified sampling, and a new method called restricted random sampling. The attributes of these sampling methods are evaluated, particularly statistical efficiency, and the important advantages of stratification are demonstrated. Finally, the analysis of variance is recommended for statistical analysis of work sampling data to account for the presence of several sources of variation, in addition to sampling error.
