Desraj Ordered Estimator

Description

Desraj estimator computes the estimated value of a finite population total when values of the study variable for the sampled units and the corresponding selection probabilities are given as per the order of selection. It is meant for use in Probability Proportional to Size Without Replacement Sampling Scheme.

Usage

desraj(y, p)

Arguments

y

vector of vaues of sampled units as per the order of selection

p

vector of selection probabilities as per the order of selection
