Stream Sampling with Immediate Decision
share
The manuscript introduces a method to select a random sample from a stream by deciding on each sampling unit immediately after observing it. The process could be applied to unequal as well as equal probability sampling. The implementation is straightforward. Algorithm selects a unit in the sample based on a single condition. It is particularly effective to make direct decisions on stream data, despite the data arriving in groups or the stream being linear.
