Pps Sampling (Probabailty Proportional To Size) Class Notes

PPS (Probability Proportional to Size) sampling selects units for a sample with a probability proportionate to a given size measure. This technique accounts for units that vary considerably in size and importance, unlike simple random sampling which gives all units equal chance of selection. PPS sampling provides a more efficient estimator than equal probability sampling by selecting units with unequal probability based on an auxiliary variable closely related to the study variable. While the PPS sampling procedure initially provides a biased estimator by over representing the largest units, appropriate weighting of sample observations at the estimation stage can achieve an unbiased estimator. Common methods for selecting a PPS sample include the cumulative total method and Lehri method.

PPS SAMPLING (PROBABAILTY PROPORTIONAL TO SIZE) …………CLASS NOTES

In simple random sampling each unit in population gets equal chance of being selected in the
sample. However when the unit varying considerably in size the simple random sampling does
not seems to be appropriate procedure since it does not take into account. The possible
importance of the size of the unit under such circumstances, selection of unit with unequal
probability may provide more efficient estimator than equal to probability sampling.

In this technique the units are selected with probability proportional to given measure of size
which is the value of auxiliary variable (x) which is closely associated with a study variable
(y).this type is sampling is known as varying proportional to size .\for example while estimating
the total number of unemployment of youth in a district. The number of household is a village
can be used as size measure whereas village are taken as sampling units, similarly for
estimating the total number of tube wells in a certain village for previous period net irrigated
area for the village may as size variable .

The PPS sampling procedure would provide biased estimator as the largest units are over
represented in the sample. However the sample observation are appropriate weighed at the
estimation stage taking into consideration the probability of selection it is possible to attain an
unbiased estimator .

Method of selection of PPS sample

The procedure to selecting a PPS sample is biased on associating with each unit in the
population a set of number equal to its size. The selection unitsis done corresponding total
number of units. The most commonly selection procedure cumulative total method and Lehri
method
