| Dec 20, 2011 at 17:43 | comment | added | James Waldby - jwpat7 | Yes; for example, "We drew eight subsets from the population", "We randomly selected eight subsets from the population", "We randomly constructed eight subsets from a thousand random members of the population", "We draw random subsets in the following way: ...", etc. Exact wording must vary to accord with circumstances. | |
| Dec 20, 2011 at 17:36 | comment | added | Atilla Ozgur | Since drawn is not a verb, can I use "draw subsets from data". | |
