خلاصه	Disproportional cluster sampling is a probability-based survey design in which naturally occurring groups (clusters) are selected as primary sampling units, but the number of clusters or elements drawn from each group is not proportional to that group's share of the population. By deliberately over- or under-sampling certain clusters, researchers gain analytic flexibility and precision where it matters most, at the cost of requiring post-hoc weighting for population-level inference.	Proportional cluster sampling selects naturally occurring groups (clusters) from a population with probability proportional to each cluster's size, so that larger clusters have a higher chance of selection while every individual element retains an equal overall inclusion probability. This design efficiently handles large, geographically dispersed populations and is the backbone of national health, education, and social surveys worldwide.
