ESTIMATION Keyword (CSPLAN command)

By default, the estimation method used when sample data are analyzed is implied by the specified extraction method. If ESTIMATION=WR is specified, the with-replacement estimator is used when summary statistics are produced using Complex Samples analysis procedures.

  • The WR keyword has no effect if the specified METHOD implies WR estimation.
  • If ESTIMATION=WR is specified, the joint probabilities file is not created when the sample plan is executed.
  • ESTIMATION=WR is available only in the first stage.
