Statistics & Probability Letters, 2005, vol. 74, issue 1, 31-37

Abstract: The development of new sampling methods allows the selection of large balanced samples. In this paper we propose a method for computing optimal inclusion probabilities for balanced samples. Next, we show that the optimal Neyman allocation is a particular case of this method.
