In this paper we have developed an alternative estimator for the Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) with replacement sampling scheme when certain characteristics under study are positively correlated with the selection probability. An analogue to the well-known superpopulation model for finite population is also suggested, using which, we compare the proposed estimator with Hansen and Hurwitz estimator. Finally, an empirical investigation of the performance of the propose estimator has also been made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
