STAGEVARS Variables (CSPLAN command)

The following table shows available STAGEVARS variables. See the CSSELECT algorithms document for a detailed explanation of each quantity.

If the default variable name is used, a numeric suffix that corresponds to the stage number is added to the root shown below. All names end in an underscore—for example, InclusionProbability_1_.

Keyword Default root name Description Generated automatically when sample executed?
INCLPROB InclusionProbability_ Stagewise inclusion (selection) probabilities. The proportion of units drawn from the population at a particular stage. Yes
CUMWEIGHT SampleWeightCumulative_ Cumulative sampling weight for a given stage. Takes into account prior stages. Yes
INDEX Index_ Duplication index for units selected in a given stage. The index uniquely identifies units selected more than once when sampling is done with replacement. Yes, when sampling is done with replacement.
POPSIZE PopulationSize_ Population size for a given stage. No
SAMPSIZE SampleSize_ Number of units drawn at a given stage. No
RATE SamplingRate_ Stagewise sampling rate. No
WEIGHT SampleWeight_ Sampling weight for a given stage. The inverse of the stagewise inclusion probability. Stage weights are positive for each unit selected in a particular stage. No
