Abstract

In this paper we have developed an alternative estimator for the Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) with replacement sampling scheme when certain characteristics under study are positively correlated with the selection probability. An analogue to the well-known superpopulation model for finite population is also suggested, using which, we compare the proposed estimator with Hansen and Hurwitz estimator. Finally, an empirical investigation of the performance of the propose estimator has also been made.
