How Stratified Random Sampling works with the Distribution Package
Stratified sampling can be selected as the Sampling Method for the Distribution Package when items from each Distribution Type need to be represented. AuditMiner divides the population into subgroups based on Distribution Type, then selects random samples from within each type. The sampling fraction for each Distribution Type is taken in the same proportion that the Distribution Type has in the population. The auditor will have the option to select a guaranteed sample from each type. If this is selected, and there are more categories than sample selections, the sample size will be more than what was indicated in testing setup.
