Summary

Conditional Poisson Sampling and Pareto πps Sampling designs are sampling methods with fixed sample size and with inclusion probabilities proportional to given size measures. Algorithms were introduced to calculate first and second exact inclusion probabilities for both schemes. Methods were also provided to adjust the parameters to get predetermined inclusion probabilities. In this paper, the Fortran procedures are introduced and documented. Moreover, guidelines are provided for their use as well as examples and the programs codes commented.
