| Abstract: | This article describes a method for producing size-biased probability samples as originally proposed by Hanurav (1967) and Vijayan (1968). The complexity of the procedure has led to the development of microcomputer software that greatly facilitates the production of sampling plans as well as the computation of population estimates. |
