Random-sampling mechanism

A random-sampling mechanism (RSM) is a truthful mechanism that uses sampling in order to achieve approximately-optimal gain in prior-free mechanisms and prior-independent mechanisms. Suppose we want to sell some items in an auction and achieve maximum profit. The crucial difficulty is that we do not know how much each buyer is willing to pay for an item. If we know, at least, that the valuations of the buyers are random variables with some known probability distribution, then we can use a Bayesian-optimal mechanism. But often we do not know the distribution. In this case, random-sampling mechanisms provide an alternative solution. (Wikipedia).

Random Sampling - Statistical Inference

In this video I talk about Random Sampling - I give you a full, in-depth primer about random sampling and what sampling is in general. I then discuss the two ways of taking a random sample from a population (1st way: No replacement; 2nd way: With replacement) and point out the difference b

We want a representative sample. The best way to get a representative sample is to use a random sample. The best way to get a random sample is to use random sampling techniques. We can also use non-random sampling techniques. But…selecting a random sample does not guarantee it will be a re

STRATIFIED, SYSTEMATIC, and CLUSTER Random Sampling (12-4)

To create a Stratified Random Sample, divide the population into smaller subgroups called strata, then use random sampling within each stratum. Strata are formed based on members’ shared (qualitative) characteristics or attributes. Stratification can be proportionate to the population size
