  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Stratified sampling
In statistics, stratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population.
A stratified survey could thus claim to be more representative of the US population than a survey of simple random sampling or systematic sampling.
Stratified sampling techniques are generally used when the population is heterogeneous, or dissimilar, where certain homogeneous, or similar, sub-populations can be isolated (strata).

 Stratified Sampling
In stratified sampling, the study population is divided into nonoverlapping strata, and samples are selected independently from each stratum.
Figure 61.4 shows that the estimate of average weekly ice cream expense is $8.75 for students in this school, with a standard error of $0.53, and a 95% confidence interval from $7.68 to $9.82.
However, the standard error computed for the stratified design is $0.53, which is less than the standard error of $0.84 shown in Figure 61.1.

 Powder Blends and Finished Dosage Units - Stratified In-Process Dosage Unit Sampling and Assessment
Stratified sampling is the process of sampling dosage units at predefined intervals and collecting representative samples from specifically targeted locations in the compression/filling operation that have the greatest potential to yield extreme highs and lows in test results.
Correlate the stratified sample data with the finished dosage unit data and assess uniformity of content.
From the data analysis, you should establish the stratified sample locations for routine manufacturing, taking into account significant process events and their effect on in-process dosage unit and finished dosage unit quality attributes.

  Stratified sampling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In statistics, stratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population.
A stratified survey could thus claim to be more representative of the US population than a survey of simple random sampling or systematic sampling.
Similarly, if population density varies greatly within a region, stratified sampling will insure that estimates can be made with equal accuracy in different parts of the region, and that comparisons of sub-regions can be made with equal statistical power.

 Stratified sampling   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Stratified sampling is used if sampled area (or volume) is heterogeneous (Pielou, p.107).
In stratified sampling program, the area (volume) is subdivided into 2 or more portions which are sampled separately.
Example: pine sawflies prefer to spin their cocoons close to the tree; thus, the area adjacent to trees (within 1 m radius) can be sampled separately from the rest of the area.

The gravity waves are due largely to the collision of the initial density current with the chamber wall and the Kelvin-Helmholtz type instabilities result from the shear generated at the interface between the pycnocline and the upper reaches of the wall jet vortex.
In stratified thermal storage systems, diffusers at the top and bottom of a stratified tank introduce and withdraw fluid while maintaining a stable density gradient and causing as little mixing as possible.
Most stratified chilled water storage tanks are cylindrical vessels with diffusers that are either circular disks that distribute flow radially outward or octagonal rings of perforated pipe that distribute flow both inward and outward radially.

 Arizona Rangelands: Inventory and Monitoring: Stratified Sampling
Stratified sampling involves dividing the site into sections that are more homogenous than the entire area.
In stratified sampling, sample size is usually determined for the entire site, and then sample units are divided among the stratified sections.
The number of sample units may be allocated on the basis of the area of each section ('proportional allocation'), or by considering variability within each section so that the attribute is estimated with the same precision for all strata ('optimum allocation').

 stratified manifolds
But knowing what he works on, by a "stratified" space he may have meant what is more commonly referred to as a "foliated" space, which roughly speaking is a space that has been expressed as a union of disjoint hypersurfaces, very much like a salami as a union of slices.
If this turns out not to be what he meant by "stratified", never mind.
Stratified manifolds occur widely in theoretical physics, and a question that has long interested me is the effect, if any, that the strata of these manifolds exert on classical dynamical trajectories and quantum wave functions defined on such manifolds.

 Physics and observational signatures of free, forced, and frictional stratified seamount-trapped waves
To interpret measurements at Cobb Seamount, the observational signatures in stratified seamount-trapped waves, with emphasis on forcing and frictional influences, are demonstrated for bathymetry and stratification representing a typical midlatitude seamount.
An inviscid stratified seamount-trapped wave is a cross-isobath (radial and vertical) mode, of equal amplitude stratified slope-Kelvin waves propagating upslope and downslope, that resonates in the azimuthally reentrant waveguide of the sloping seamount sides.
Cross-isobath structure is controlled by (1) ray refraction by slope angle variations, (2) Airy function behavior near turning points where bottom slope decreases to the ratio between wave and buoyancy frequencies, and (3) geometric compression by cylindrical geometry.
