Random systematic sampling
Selects a sample using the systematic method, when the order of the population units is random (unequal probabilities, without replacement, fixed sample size).
UPrandomsystematic(pik,eps=1e-6)
pik |
vector of the inclusion probabilities. |
eps |
the control value, by default equal to 1e-6. |
Returns a vector (with elements 0 and 1) of size N, the population size. Each element k of this vector indicates the status of unit k (1, unit k is selected in the sample; 0, otherwise). The value 'eps' is used to control pik (pik>eps and pik<1-eps).
