Abstract:
|
Probability proportionate to size without replacement (PPS WOR) sampling methods are customarily applied in sample designs for establishment surveys that have skewed populations with readily available auxiliary data for unit measures. More often than otherwise, systematic PPS procedures are used because such methods are easy to implement as well as being relatively efficient. However, there are alternative PPS sampling methods that are as efficient and relatively easy to implement that also afford the use of the Yates-Grundy variance estimator. This is demonstrated using the sample design from the International Price Program (IPP) at BLS.
