Összefoglaló	Adaptive multistage sampling combines the hierarchical efficiency of multistage designs with adaptive decision rules that adjust which units are sampled at later stages based on what is observed at earlier stages. It is used when a target characteristic is rare, clustered, or spatially heterogeneous and a fixed design would waste resources on uninformative areas of the population.	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.
