Stratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population in statistics. When sub-populations vary considerably, it is advantageous to sample each subpopulation (stratum) independently. Stratification is the process of grouping members of the population into relatively homogeneous subgroups before sampling.tratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population in statistics.

Hardening (computing) In computing, hardening is usually the process of securing a system by reducing its surface of vulnerability, which is larger when a system performs more functions; in principle a single-function system is more secure than a multipurpose one.
Baselines are used to define the configuration of a product or system established at a specific point in time, capturing both structure and details. Configuration baselines in Configuration Manager 2007 contain a defined set of required configurations that are evaluated for compliance as a group.
