Music Banter - hillary clinton 4 prez

Why do you have to over sample certain groups? Are you talking about getting good stats or doing it as a political move? I get what you mean if it's the latter.

Republicans have been pretty violent as well. If she was to take over they would just ramp it up and the licensed gun owners will be all over the place.

So if they plan to use the data that way they will oversample smaller groups like Hispanics so they get a reasonable amount and then weight them back down when they use the data for other purposes

I was under the impression that oversampling was when you disproportionately sample from one group without it being necessary for the data. What that link describes just sounds like stratified sampling to me.
