Sampling & Saturation

enough is a decision, not a number

A sampling decision, described as it might appear in a methods section. Decide whether it's well-justified, or a red flag — a number chosen for convenience rather than for what the data actually needed.

Context

How would you read this?

Well-justified — the sample size or stopping point follows from the data and the method, and the reasoning is made explicit.  ·  Red flag — the decision is arbitrary, undisclosed, or works against what the method actually needs.
