This package provides functions to approximate joint-inclusion probabilities in Unequal Probability Sampling, or to find Monte Carlo approximations of first and second-order inclusion probabilities of a general sampling design.
The main functions are:
jip_approx(): returns a matrix of approximated
joint-inclusion probabilities for unequal probability sampling design
with high entropy;jip_MonteCarlo(): produces a matrix of first and second
order inclusion probabilities for a given sampling design, approximated
through Monte Carlo simulation. This method of approximation is more
flexible but also computer-intensive.HTvar(): returns the Horvitz-Thompson or
Sen-Yates-Grundy variance or their estimates, computed using true
inclusion probabilities or an approximation obtained by
jip_approx() or jip_MonteCarlo().The development version of the package can be installed from GitHub:

### Generate population data ---
N <- 20; n <- 5
set.seed(0)
x <- rgamma(500, scale=10, shape=5)
y <- abs( 2*x + 3.7*sqrt(x) * rnorm(N) )
pik <- n * x/sum(x)
### Approximate joint-inclusion probabilities for high entropy designs ---
pikl <- jip_approx(pik, method='Hajek')
pikl <- jip_approx(pik, method='HartleyRao')
pikl <- jip_approx(pik, method='Tille')
pikl <- jip_approx(pik, method='Brewer1')
pikl <- jip_approx(pik, method='Brewer2')
pikl <- jip_approx(pik, method='Brewer3')
pikl <- jip_approx(pik, method='Brewer4')
### Approximate inclusion probabilities through Monte Carlo simulation ---
pikl <- jip_MonteCarlo(x=pik, n = n, replications = 100, design = "brewer")
pikl <- jip_MonteCarlo(x=pik, n = n, replications = 100, design = "tille")
pikl <- jip_MonteCarlo(x=pik, n = n, replications = 100, design = "poisson")
pikl <- jip_MonteCarlo(x=pik, n = n, replications = 100, design = "maxEntropy")
pikl <- jip_MonteCarlo(x=pik, n = n, replications = 100, design = "randomSystematic")
pikl <- jip_MonteCarlo(x=pik, n = n, replications = 100, design = "systematic")
pikl <- jip_MonteCarlo(x=pik, n = n, replications = 100, design = "sampford")rob.sichera@gmail.com.
