Cluster Sampling Method01:20

Cluster Sampling Method

12.7K
Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Sampling Methods: Overview

521
A sample refers to a smaller subset representative of a larger population. In analytical chemistry, studying or analyzing an entire population is often impractical or impossible. Therefore, samples are used to draw inferences and generalize the whole population. The sampling method selects individuals or items from a population to create a sample. Standard sampling methods include random, judgemental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling. 
In analytical chemistry, the choice of...

Sampling Plans

Sampling is a crucial step in analytical chemistry, allowing researchers to collect representative data from a large population. Common sampling methods include random, judgmental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling.
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...

Random Sampling Method

12.3K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest. Among the various sampling methods used by...

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...

Sampling Continuous Time Signal01:11

Sampling Continuous Time Signal

350
In signal processing, a continuous-time signal can be sampled using an impulse-train sampling technique, followed by the zero-order hold method. Impulse-train sampling involves the use of a periodic impulse train, which consists of a series of delta functions spaced at regular intervals determined by the sampling period. When a continuous-time signal is multiplied by this impulse train, it generates impulses with amplitudes corresponding to the signal's values at the sampling points.
In the...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Path planning is essential for autonomous mobile robots.
  • Sampling-based algorithms like RRT* are common for collision-free path generation.
  • RRT* suffers from slow convergence due to uniform sampling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel hybrid sampling method, RRT*-NUS (nonuniform-uniform sampler).
  • To enhance the exploration efficiency of sampling-based path planners.
  • To improve convergence speed and reduce planning time for autonomous robots.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a hybrid sampling strategy combining nonuniform and uniform sampling (RRT*-NUS).
  • Evaluated RRT*-NUS against six baseline algorithms (RRT*, Informed RRT*, RRT*-N, GS-RRT*, DR-RRT*, hybrid-RRT*).
  • Conducted simulations in three 384*384 2D environments.

Main Results:

  • RRT*-NUS demonstrated superior performance over baseline RRT* algorithms.
  • Achieved a 67.5% improvement in planning time compared to RRT*.
  • Reached a convergence rate of 0.41 units/s, significantly faster than RRT* and Hybrid RRT*.

Conclusions:

  • The RRT*-NUS method offers a significant advancement in autonomous robot path planning.
  • Hybrid sampling effectively addresses the slow convergence issue of traditional RRT*.
  • RRT*-NUS provides a more efficient and faster solution for generating collision-free paths.
