Kvotsurval

Kvotsurval, also known as quota sampling, is a non-probability sampling method used in research to ensure that certain subgroups or characteristics are adequately represented in a sample. This technique is particularly useful when the population is diverse and it is important to capture the perspectives of various groups. Kvotsurval involves setting quotas for different subgroups based on their proportion in the overall population. Researchers then select individuals from each subgroup until the quota is met. This method is often used in qualitative research, such as interviews or focus groups, to gather diverse viewpoints. While kvotsurval can provide a more representative sample, it does not guarantee randomness, and the results may not be generalizable to the entire population. It is important to clearly define the subgroups and quotas before conducting the survey to ensure the method's effectiveness.
