S.piPS: Probability Proportional to Size Sampling Without Replacement

In damarals/TeachingSampling: Selection of Samples and Parameter Estimation in Finite Population

Description

Draws a probability proportional to size sample without replacement of size n from a population of size N.

Usage

S.piPS(n, x, e)

Arguments

x	Vector of auxiliary information for each unit in the population
n	Sample size
e	By default, a vector of size N of independent random numbers drawn from the Uniform(0,1)

Details

The selected sample is drawn according to the Sunter method (sequential-list procedure)

Value

The function returns a matrix of m rows and two columns. Each element of the first column indicates the unit that was selected. Each element of the second column indicates the selection probability of this unit

Examples

############
## Example 1
############
# Vector U contains the label of a population of size N=5
U <- c("Yves", "Ken", "Erik", "Sharon", "Leslie")
# The auxiliary information
x <- c(52, 60, 75, 100, 50)
# Draws a piPS sample without replacement of size n=3
res <- S.piPS(3,x)
res
sam <- res[,1] 
sam
# The selected sample is
U[sam]

############
## Example 2
############
# Uses the Lucy data to draw a random sample of units accordind to a
# piPS without replacement design

data(Lucy)
attach(Lucy)
# The selection probability of each unit is proportional to the variable Income
res <- S.piPS(400,Income)
# The selected sample
sam <- res[,1]
# The inclusion probabilities of the units in the sample
Pik.s <- res[,2]
# The information about the units in the sample is stored in an object called data
data <- Lucy[sam,]
data
dim(data)
