Polychotomy Sampling

Defining the Global Ludo Polychotomy

This paper explores the established East-West Dichotomy and attempts to explain its role in the games industry while examining if it can even be accurately applied to it. In an attempt to find out, a games design model (B. James et al, 2013) was used to quickly and efficiently break down a variety of popular and/or relevant video game titles from recent years in order to better understand their...

Sampling and Sampling Distributions

A sample is a group of objects or readings taken from a population for counting or measurement. We shall distinguish between two kinds of populations — finite populations and infinite populations. The sample must be random, meaning that all possible samples of a particular size must have equal probabilities of being chosen from the population. This will prevent bias in the sampling process. Mos...

Application of adaptive sampling in fishery part 1: Adaptive cluster sampling and its strip designs

Abstract:  The precision of conventional sampling designs is not usually satisfactory for estimating parameters of clump and rare populations. Many of fish species live in school and disperse all over a vast area like a sea so that they are rare compare to their habitats. Theory of a class of sampling designs called adaptive sampling designs has rapidly grown during last decade which solv...

Application of adaptive sampling in fishery part 2: Truncated adaptive cluster sampling designs

There are some experiences that researcher come across quite number of time for very large networks in the initial samples such that they cannot finish the sampling procedure. Two solutions have been proposed and used by marine biologists which we discuss in this article: i) Adaptive cluster sampling based on order statistics with a stopping rule, ii) Restricted adaptive cluster sampling. Until...
