var_FixedPoint

Fixed-Point estimator for approximate variance estimation by Deville and Tillé (2005).
Estimator of class 2, it requires only first-order inclusion probabilities and
only for sample units.

internal

Variance approximations for the
Horvitz-Thompson total estimator in Unequal Probability Sampling
using only first-order inclusion probabilities.
See Matei and Tillé (2005) and Haziza, Mecatti and Rao (2008) for details.
