1 The pps Package November 22, 2005 Versio 0.94 Date Title Fuctios for PPS samplig Author Jack G. Gambio Maitaier Jack G. Gambio The pps package cotais fuctios to select samples usig PPS (probability proportioal to size) samplig. It also icludes a fuctio for stratified simple radom samplig, a fuctio to compute joit iclusio probabilities for Sampford s method of PPS samplig, ad a few utility fuctios. The user s guide pps-ug.pdf is icluded. Licese GPL versio 2 or later R topics documeted: calif califcty permuteistrata pps ppss ppssstrat ppswr sampford sampfordpi sizesok stratsrs stratumsizes Idex 10 1
