UPsampfordpi2: Joint inclusion probabilities for Sampford sampling

Description

Computes the joint (second-order) inclusion probabilities for Sampford sampling.

Usage

UPsampfordpi2(pik)

Arguments

pik

vector of the first-order inclusion probabilities.

Value

Returns a NxN matrix of the following form: the main diagonal contains the first-order inclusion probabilities for each unit k in the population; elements (k,l) are the joint inclusion probabilities of units k and l, with k not equal to l. N is the population size.
