This example illustrates the use of regression analysis in a simple random cluster sampling design. The data are from S rndal, Swenson, and Wretman (1992, p. 652). A total of 284 Swedish ...

In adaptive cluster sampling designs, an initial probability sample is selected and, whenever the observed value of the variable of interest satisfies a given condition, units in the neighborhood of ...

We consider inverse sampling designs that use stopping rules based on the number of rare units observed in the sample. We look at two stopping rules in detail and derive unbiased estimators of the ...

PPS sampling is often used in cluster sampling, where you select clusters (or groups of sampling units) of varying size in the first stage of selection. For example, clusters may be schools, hospitals ...
