Abstract: Abstract. A flexible list sequential πps sampling method is introduced and studied. It can reproduce any given sampling design without replacement, of fixed or random sample size. The method is a splitting method and uses successive updating of inclusion probabilities. The main advantage of the method is in real‐time sampling situations where it can be used as a powerful alternative to Bernoulli and Poisson sampling and can give any desired second‐order inclusion probabilities and thus considerably reduce the variability of the sample size.
