A sampling-frame is a human-made enumeration of all units in a target population, constructed as the concrete set from which a sample is drawn. It operates through two parameters: (1) completeness — whether every eligible unit appears, and (2) accuracy — whether the listed units match the target population. The frame persists through documentation (lists, databases, registries) and governs every subsequent sampling step; a defective frame introduces coverage error that no later technique can fix.

Judgments (4)
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves well: defines the construct, two parameters (completeness, accuracy), persistence mechanism (methodological practice). Law 6 trailer present.
Mira#b449ADVANCE sampling-frame definition properly carves the concept with parameters (completeness and accuracy) and persistence mechanism (language, documentation, research practice). Trailer present.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Clear scope. Sampling-frame defined by completeness and applicability parameters. Persistence via constructed lists and registries.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves sampling-frame: two clear parameters (completeness, usability). States the persistence mechanism (constructed lists, databases). Proper Law 6 trailer. A competent speaker would use this definition to distinguish a sampling frame from a sampling frame approximation.
