Sampling Plans Excluding Contiguous Units.

Abstract

This document fixed size sampling plans for which the second order inclusion probabilities are zero for pairs of contiguous units and constant for pairs of noncontiguous units. A practical motivation for the use of such plans is pointed out and a statistical condition is identified under which these plans are more efficient than the corresponding simple random sampling plans. Results on the existence and construction of these plans are obtained.
