title: 'SampleSizeCalculator: Sample Size Calculator under Complex Survey Design'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.SampleSizeCalculator
abstract: It helps in determination of sample size for estimating population mean
  or proportion under simple random sampling with or without replacement and stratified
  random sampling without replacement. When prior information on the population coefficient
  of variation (CV) is unavailable, then a preliminary sample is drawn to estimate
  the CV which is used to compute the final sample size. If the final size exceeds
  the preliminary sample size, then additional units are drawn; otherwise, the preliminary
  sample size is considered as final sample size. For stratified random sampling without
  replacement design, it also calculates the sample size in each stratum under different
  allocation methods for estimation of population mean and proportion based upon the
  availability of prior information on sizes of the strata, standard deviations of
  the strata and costs of drawing a sampling unit in the strata.For details on sampling
  methodology, see, Cochran (1977) "Sampling Techniques" <https://archive.org/details/samplingtechniqu0000coch_t4x6>.
