Summary:The article presents a discussion about statistical sampling and representative sampling. Sampling is a method used for representing a data set using a sample, which is a contiguous interval of dynamic instructions during the execution of a program. Statistical sampling applies the random or systematic pattern technique without consideration of the sample selection, while representative sampling chooses the samples that will uniquely represent repetitive patterns in the execution of the program.
