| |Sampling units|Elements or clusters of elements considered for selection in some stage of sampling. For a sample with only one stage of selection, the units are the same as the elements. In multi-stage samples (e.g., enumeration areas, then households within selected enumeration areas, and finally adults within selected households), different sampling units exist, while only the last is an element. The term sampling units ( refers to the sampling units chosen in the first stage of selection. The term sampling units ( refers to sampling units within the PSUs that are chosen in the second stage of selection.| | |Sampling units|Elements or clusters of elements considered for selection in some stage of sampling.

| |Sampling variance|A measure of how much a statistic varies around its mean (over all conceptual trials) as a result of the sample design only. This measure does not account for other sources of variable error such as coverage and nonreponse.| | |Sampling variance|A measure of how much a statistic varies around its mean (over all conceptual trials) as a result of the sample design only.

| - | |Satisficing|To answer survey questions optimally, four stages of cognitive processing are required: (1) interpret the questions comprehensively, (2) retrieve information from memory, (3) form a judgment, and (4) map the judgment to the appropriate response category. However, to lower cognitive burden, instead of seeking to optimize, respondents may skip some steps when the answer survey questions. This behavior is called satisficing.| | + | |Satisficing|To answer survey questions optimally, four stages of cognitive processing are required: (1) interpret the questions comprehensively, (2) retrieve information from memory, (3) form a judgment, and (4) map the judgment to the appropriate response category.
