Abstract

This study develops a newly modified systematic sampling that allows of recruiting more than one-unit subject in each interval selection. The newly modified systematic sampling is an incorporation from both consecutive sampling and systematic sampling. Firstly, the terms and selection of the newly modified systematic sampling is identified when the sample selection derived from the new sampling technique is able to generate an unbiased estimator for the population mean. Then, the evaluation from simulation works and a real-life dataset was applied to support the evidence of sampling efficiency and consistency. This newly modified systematic sampling is named as “Systematic Sampling with Consecutive Approach” or in short SSC is indeed an innovation in sampling by the virtue of combining two sampling techniques, consecutive sampling and systematic sampling.
