【 摘 要 】

This paper aims to contribute to the debate taking place nowadays on the two extreme schemes of sampling the stellar masses within star clusters, known as Optimal Sampling and Random Sampling. We propose a new method for sampling of stellar masses in star clusters which allows a continuous transition between the Optimal Sampling and the Random Sampling. We use a sample of young star clusters from the literature to calibrate the amount of stochasticity generated by the proposed method.
