131. A random sample and a cluster sample should not be the same
Edited on Mon Dec-13-04 05:38 PM by davidgmills
Truth is All:
A random sample and a cluster sample should not produce the same percentage if the cluster phenomon exists.
This is another way to look at it if the cluster phenomonon exists. The pre-election polling is a random sample and the exit polling is purported to be a cluster sample.
If the cluster effect exists, it should be a different percentage. Yet you have shown them to be the same in a nationwide sample.
Ergo, the cluster phenomonon does not exist on a nationwide sample. Am I right or am I wrong?
