This book draws up an inventory of new methods that can be useful for selecting samples. Forty-six sampling methods are described in the framework of general theory. The algorithms are described rigorously, which allows implementing directly the described methods. This book is aimed at experienced statisticians who are familiar with the theory of survey sampling.Yves TillȨ is a professor at the University of Neuchtel (Switzerland) UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-387-34240-0 ER -
