Using the SURVEYSELECT procedure to take a random sample with probability proportional to size


PROC SURVEYSELECT provides several methods for random sample selection with probability proportional to size (PPS) that include PPS sampling with and without replacement. For sampling with replacement, specify the METHOD=PPS_WR option in the PROC SURVEYSELECT statement. For sampling without replacement, specify the METHOD=PPS option in in the PROC SURVEYSELECT statement. Use the SIZE statement to specify the variable that contains the size measure. 

Refer to the METHOD= documentation for additional PPS methods.
