Overview

About

Maintained by Ahmadou DickoFirst published 2026-08-032 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

Fast implementations of survey sampling algorithms for single-stage probability sampling from finite populations, written in C. Provides equal probability methods (simple random sampling, systematic, Bernoulli), unequal probability methods (conditional Poisson / maximum entropy, Sampford, Brewer, systematic PPS, Pareto, sequential Poisson, Poisson, Chromy's minimum replacement, multinomial), balanced sampling via the cube method, and spatially balanced sampling via the local pivotal method and spatially correlated Poisson sampling. All sampling functions return design objects carrying sample indices, inclusion probabilities, and design metadata. Generics compute joint inclusion probabilities, pairwise expectations, and sampling covariances for variance estimation. Mostly based on algorithms from Tillé (2006, doi:10.1007/0-387-34240-0).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("sondage", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("dickoa/sondage")

Development version from dickoa/sondage. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-sondage

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-sondage

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
