Adaptive Quota Sampling/Evidence
Method evidence record

Adaptive Quota Sampling

Adaptive quota sampling is a non-probability sampling approach that starts with predefined demographic or characteristic-based quotas and then adjusts those quotas during data collection in response to emerging response patterns, nonresponse trends, or representativeness concerns. By treating the sampling process as iterative rather than fixed, it allows researchers to correct imbalances in real time and improve the final sample composition without restarting data collection from scratch.
