stratasamp: Sample Size Calculation for Stratified Sampling

Description

The function stratasamp calculates the sample size for each stratum depending on type of allocation.

Usage

stratasamp(n, Nh, Sh = NULL, Ch = NULL, type = 'prop')

Arguments

n

positive integer specifying sampling size.

Nh

vector of population sizes of each stratum.

Sh

vector of standard deviation in each stratum.

Ch

vector of cost for a sample in each stratum.

type

type of allocation. Default is type='prop' for proportional, alternatives are type='opt' for optimal and type='costopt' for cost-optimal.

Value

The function stratasamp returns a matrix, which lists the strata and the sizes of observation depending on type of allocation.
