Program Packages for Survey Sampling

  1. Survey [R]
    Summary statistics, two-sample tests, rank tests, generalised linear models, cumulative link models, Cox models, loglinear models, and general maximum pseudolikelihood estimation for multistage stratified, cluster-sampled, unequally weighted survey samples. Variances by Taylor series linearisation or replicate weights. Post-stratification, calibration, and raking. Two-phase subsampling designs. Graphics. PPS sampling without replacement.
  2. SAMPLICS: sample analytics [Python]
    In large scale surveys, often complex random mechanisms are used to select samples. Estimations obtained from such samples must reflect the random mechanism to ensure accurate calculations. samplics implements a set of sampling techniques for complex survey designs.
