Research Work: Data Sampling Techniques According to Per Yegidis, Weinbach & Myers (2018), “a sample is a subset of cases selected for study from among people or objects within a defined population. It is chosen to represent the population.” The research would apply both probability and no-probability sampling techniques with various parameters and desired characteristics of the ideal sample. Taherdoost (2016) describes non-probability sampling as a sampling technique in which the researcher selects samples based on the subjective judgment of the researcher rather than a random selection from the total population. First, a census search would be conducted on the demarcated demography of prospective locations to determine whether there are relatively enough psychological patients who could potentially access counseling. Secondly, the counseling agencies would serve a wide variety of self-referent, non-mandated clients, and provide a non-generalized wide variety of psychological services. For example, agencies that offer clients the benefit of choosing counseling techniques for themselves and those that the practitioners selected the techniques to be used. Third, a consultation with a statistician will be used to confirm the size…

Therefore, the present write-up will highlight the conceptual and epidemiological models and how they relate to the topic. The models have myriad functions to health studies and disease investigations like identification of the causal agents, calculating mortality and morbidity, and measuring of therapeutic and preventive measures.
