<p><strong>The <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/weighted-sampling" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;weighted-sampling&#39;" rel="tag">weighted-sampling</a> tag</strong></p>

<p>It needs to be refined. @StasK's inclination is to limit it to computational Monte Carlo where it means the ratio of the target to sampling density; a lot of other uses actually mean unequal probability sampling in complex surveys, and these should be tagged <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/survey-sampling" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;survey-sampling&#39;" rel="tag">survey-sampling</a> instead. There is also a small minority of questions where the tag is used for what <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/weighted-data" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;weighted-data&#39;" rel="tag">weighted-data</a> may be a better fit.</p>
