    Stratified random sampling is a method of sampling that involves the division of a population into smaller sub-groups known as strata. In stratified random sampling, or stratification, the strata are formed based on members' shared attributes or characteristics such as income or educational attainment.

    The strata are formed based on members' shared attributes or characteristics such as income or educational attainment. Strata variables are used to divide a non-homogeneous population into homogeneous subgroups. Stratification is often useful in proportional hazards modeling where the assumption of proportional hazards between subgroups may be suspect.

    he strata or sub-groups should be different and the data should not overlap. For example, you have three sub-groups with a population size of 150, 200, 250 subjects in each subgroup respectively. Now, to make it proportionate, the researcher uses one specific fraction or a percentage to be applied on its subgroups of population. The sample for first group would be 150*0.5= 75, 200*0.5=100 and 250*0.5= 125. Here the constant factor is the proportion ration for each population subset.
