2.  Web-based Sampling
                                 In  this  sampling  procedure,  email  addresses,  website  visits,  and
                            recruited users of the internet are utilized as sampling units. 1There are
                            three  categories  of  web-based  sampling,  namely:  list-based  sampling,
                            sampling of website visits, and sampling from recruited panels  of potential
                            participants in research projects.

                        3.  Address-based Sampling
                            In  this kind of  sampling procedure,  postal addresses  are utilized as
                            sampling units. The ABS sampling is used mostly in national surveys.

                        4.  Time-based Sampling
                                 Units of time are used as sampling units in this type of sampling. This
                            is used in studying repeated outcomes that vary a great deal over time.
                            The units of time may be time of the day, days of the week, months of the
                            year, or some other time unit. The time intervals may be the sampling
                            units.  The  length  of  the  interval  would  depend  in  part  on  the  rate  of
                            occurrence of what is to be observed. Preparation for this type of sampling
                            typically involves visits to the locations where the data will be collected,
                            observing  the  density  of  the  target  population  over  time  and  gathering
                            information from informants. Using the information obtained, a sampling
                            frame of time units is developed. Data might be collected several times per
                            day at time periods selected using simple random sampling or systematic
                            sampling,  upon  the  occurrence  of  a  specific event,  or  at  specifically
                            scheduled time intervals.


                        5.  Space-based Sampling
                                 This refers to a set of sampling procedures that utilize space as a
                            sampling unit. This type of sampling is also referred to as area sampling,
                            spatial sampling, location- based sampling, venue-based sampling and
                            facility-based sampling. The space may be geographical units or various
                            locations  or  venues.  It  is  the  principal  mode  of  sampling  utilized  in
                            nationwide  personal  interview  surveys,  environmental  sampling,  and
                            ecological sampling. (Daniel, 2012).
