ESTIMATOR Subcommand (CSPLAN command)

The ESTIMATOR subcommand is used to choose an estimation method for the current stage. There is no default estimator.

Available estimators depend on the stage:

• EQUAL_WOR can be specified in any stage of the design.
• UNEQUAL_WOR can be specified in the first stage only. An error occurs if it is used in stage 2 or 3.
• WR can be specified in any stage. However, the stage in which it is specified is treated as the last stage. Any subsequent stages are ignored when the data are analyzed.

EQUAL_WOR. Equal selection probabilities without replacement. POPSIZE or INCLPROB must be specified.

UNEQUAL_WOR. Unequal selection probabilities without replacement. If POPSIZE or INCLPROB is specified, it is ignored and a warning is issued.

WR. Selection with replacement. If POPSIZE or INCLPROB is specified, it is ignored and a warning is issued.
