Σύνοψη	Weighted systematic sampling selects units at equal spacing along a cumulative-weight axis rather than along a simple list index. By ordering the population and accumulating auxiliary size or importance weights before applying a fixed sampling interval, it combines the operational simplicity of systematic sampling with the efficiency gains of probability-proportional-to-size selection — giving larger or more important units a higher probability of inclusion while still visiting every part of the ordered frame.	Multistage sampling is a probability-based design that selects a sample by working through two or more successive levels of a population hierarchy — for example, first selecting regions, then districts within those regions, then households within those districts. It makes large-scale surveys practical when a complete population list is unavailable or when the population is geographically dispersed, by concentrating fieldwork within a manageable number of sampled units at each stage.
