r-rsamplr

Fast tools for unequal probability sampling in multi-dimensional spaces, implemented in Rust for high performance. The package offers a wide range of methods, including Sampford (Sampford, 1967, <doi:10.1093/biomet/54.3-4.499>) and correlated Poisson sampling (Bondesson and Thorburn, 2008, <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9469.2008.00596.x>), pivotal sampling (Deville and Tillé, 1998, <doi:10.1093/biomet/91.4.893>), and balanced sampling such as the cube method (Deville and Tillé, 2004, <doi:10.1093/biomet/91.4.893>) to ensure auxiliary totals are respected. Spatially balanced approaches, including the local pivotal method (Grafström et al., 2012, <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01699.x>), spatially correlated Poisson sampling (Grafström, 2012, <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2011.07.003>), and locally correlated Poisson sampling (Prentius, 2024, <doi:10.1002/env.2832>), provide efficient designs when the target variable is linked to auxiliary information.
