Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: ppschromy implements Chromy's method of probability-proportionate-to-size (PPS) sequential random sampling, including hierarchical serpentine sorting. See Chromy (1979) and Williams and Chromy (1980) for details. This implementation supports sampling without replacement as well as probability minimum replacement, a special case of sampling with replacement.
