Weighted sample

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

A sample that is not strictly proportional to the distribution of classes in the total population. A weighted sample has been adjusted to include larger proportions of some other parts of the total population, because those parts accorded greater “weight” would otherwise not have the sufficient numbers in the sample to lead to generalizable conclusions.
