Spencer design effect for an estimated total from a pps sample

Description

Compute the Spencer design effect for single-stage samples selected with probability proportional to a measure of size.

Usage

deffS(p, w, y)

Arguments

p	vector of 1-draw selection probabilities, i.e., the probability that each unit would be selected in a sample of size 1.
w	vector of inverses of selection probabilities for a sample
y	vector of the sample values of an analysis variable

Details

The Spencer design effect is the ratio of the variance of the pwr-estimator of the total of y, assuming that a single-stage sample is selected with replacement, to the variance of the total estimated in srswr. Varying selection probabilities can be used.

Value

numeric design effect
