Incorrect?

As I read it, I believe this article describes stratified sampling, not cluster sampling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.108.220 (talk) 19:29, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

I thought the same, though I'm no expert. If "cluster" sampling is synonymous with stratified sampling, then the article should probably mention the other term; if there's a distinction, it should be made more clear. Anyone able to clear this up? Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 22:27, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

I agree that the article does not make a clear distinction. In the opening, they seem to emphasize heterogeneous groups, whereas other sections describe homogeneous groups. Hank.stevens (talk) 17:04, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
