sunterpi2:
Joint inclusion probabilities for Sunter sampling
Description
The function computes the joint (second-order) inclusion probabilities for Sunter sampling.
Usage
sunterpi2(x, n)
Arguments
x
the vector of values of the auxiliary variable (measure of size)
n
the sample size
Value
Returns a $NxN$ matrix of the following form: the main diagonal contains the first-order inclusion probabilities for each unit $k$ in the population; elements $(k,l)$ are the joint inclusion probabilities of units $k$ and $l$, with $k$ not equal to $l$. $N$ is the population size.
