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 ...

The method of simple random sampling (METHOD=SRS) selects units with equal probability and without replacement. Each possible sample of n different units out of N has the same probability of being ...

In a regression model, the joint distribution for each finite sample of units is determined by a function $p_{{\bf x}}({\bf y})$ depending only on the list of ...

This paper presents the results of a limited investigation which brings into focus the difficulties encountered in developing exact distribution-free methods for stratified simple random sampling. It ...
