If you specify the option METHOD=PPS_SYS, PROC SURVEYSELECT selects units by systematic random sampling with probability proportional to size. Systematic sampling selects units at a fixed interval ...

The main purpose of this paper is the development of an asymptotic theory of systematic sampling from a stochastic population. The superpopulation model assumed is that the population arises from a ...

When sampling a population, the numbers of organisms are counted within a sample site, and then the results multiplied to estimate the total number in the entire habitat. Large animals and plants can ...

Sampling is a type of scientific surveying which can save time and money and give information on the population of animals and plants. There are many different types of sampling; the most useful type ...
