This package performs univariate stratification of survey populations. The
main function implements a generalization of the Lavallee-Hidiroglou
method of stratum construction. The generalized method takes into account
a discrepancy between the stratification variable and the survey variable.
The determination of the optimal boundaries also incorporate, if desired,
an anticipated non-response, a take-all stratum for large units, and a
take-none stratum for small units. The well known cumulative root
frequency rule of Dalenius and Hodges and the geometric rule of Gunning
and Horgan are also
implemented.
