sampling (version 2.9)

UPopips: Order pips sampling

Description

Implements order \(\pi ps\) sampling (unequal probabilities, without replacement, fixed sample size).

Usage

UPopips(lambda,type=c("pareto","uniform","exponential"))

Arguments

lambda

vector of working inclusion probabilities or target ones.

type

the type of order sampling (pareto, uniform, exponential).

Value

Returns a vector of selected units of size n, the sample size.
