UPsystematicpi2: Joint inclusion probabilities for systematic sampling

In sampling: Survey Sampling

Joint inclusion probabilities for systematic sampling

Description

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

Usage

UPsystematicpi2(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.
