Sample size determination in sampling systems

A system effective to determine a sample size for a sampling system, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor configured to be in communication with the memory;
• an interface module configured to be in communication with the memory and the processor;
• a sampling module configured to be in communication with the memory and the processor;
• the memory is configured to store a set of interface data, wherein each interface data is associated with a type of sampling plan, and the interface data, when rendered by the system, is outputted as a user interface;
• the processor is configured to:
• receive a selection indicating a type of sampling plan;
• and
• send the selection to the interface module;
• send the selection to the sampling module;
• the interface module is configured to:
• retrieve interface data associated with the selected type of sampling plan;
• output the user interface on a display, wherein the user interface includes one or more options associated with the selected type of sampling plan;
• the processor is further configured to receive a set of input values of the one or more options through the user interface;
• the sampling module is configured to:
• determine sample size data based on the set of input values, wherein the sample size data indicates an optimal number of samples to be used in the selected sampling plan;
• and
• send the determined sample size data to the interface module;
• the interface module is further configured to output the sample size data on the user interface.

A computer program product for determining a sample size for a sampling system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a device to cause the device to:

• receive a selection indicating a type of sampling plan;
• retrieve interface data associated with the selected type of sampling plan, wherein the interface data, when rendered by the device, is outputted as a user interface;
• output the user interface on a display of the device, wherein the user interface includes one or more options associated with the selected type of sampling plan;
• receive a set of input values of the one or more options through the user interface;
• and
• determine sample size data based on the set of input values, wherein the sample size data indicates an optimal number of samples to be used in the selected sampling plan.
