Design frame and sample

FS4 (First Stage Stratification and Selection in Sampling)
FS4 is a generalized software for first stage stratification and selection in sampling related to two or more stages, implemented completely in R and with a GUI (Graphical User Interface).

MAUSS-R (Multivariate Allocation of Units in Sampling Surveys – version R with  Java interface)
The MAUSS-R software tailored to determining the sample allocation in the multivariate case and for multiple domains of estimate for one-stage samples is no longer available as a stand-alone software but its facilities are now implemented in the R2BEAT R package.

Multiway Sample Allocation
R-package implementing the sample allocation for one stage multi-way stratified (simple or with varying inclusion probabilities) sampling and for incomplete stratified sampling designs. The allocation allows to control the expected sampling errors of the estimates of many parameters and several reference subpopulations.

R2BEAT (Multistage Sampling Design and PSUs selection)
R-package implementing the multivariate optimal allocation for different domains in one and two stages stratified sample design.

SamplingStrata
Optimal stratification of sampling frames for multipurpose sampling surveys.
