Example 1: The population from which samples are selected is {1,2,3,4,5,6}. This population has a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of 1.70783. The next display shows a histogram of the population.

Modified efficiency comparisons, which take into consideration the fact that the expected number of distinct units in a with-replacement sample need not be an integer, are made for the same expected ...

If you specify the option METHOD=PPS, PROC SURVEYSELECT selects units with probability proportional to size and without replacement. The selection probability for unit i in stratum h equals n h Z hi .

PROC SURVEYSELECT provides a variety of methods for selecting probability-based random samples. With probability sampling, each unit in the survey population has a known, positive probablity of ...

(1) Simple random sampling is usually done without replacement (so there is no chance of the same individual appearing twice in the sample). In this case, there is a ...

In this paper we consider three well-known procedures of unequal probability sampling without replacement. Using an asymptotic approach, Hartley and Rao [3] have obtained compact expressions for ...
