Spencer design effect for pps sampling
Compute the Spencer design effect for single-stage samples selected with probability proportional to a measure of size.
deffS(p, w, y)
p |
vector of 1-draw selection probabilities, i.e., the probability that each unit would be selected in a sample of size 1. |
w |
vector of inverses of selection probabilities for a sample |
y |
vector of the sample values of an analysis variable |
The Spencer design effect is the ratio of the variance of the pwr-estimator of the total of y, assuming that a single-stage sample is selected with replacement, to the variance of the total estimated in srswr. Varying selection probabilities can be used.
