Prepares the design and psu file for two-stage sample design (when a previous round of the survey is available, but no sampling frame)

Description

Prepares the design file for two-stage sample design on the basis of a dataset containing information on each PSU

Usage

Arguments

psu

Dataframe containing information on each PSU.

psu_id

Identifier of each PSU in PSU dataframe.

stratum_var

Identifier of stratum in PSU dataframe.

mos_var

Variable containing the number of selection units in each PSU.

delta
