Abstract

We view the problem of maximizing or minimizing the expected overlap of two surveys as a transportation problem (TP) and give simple selection algorithms for solving it. We compare our method with the sequential SRSWOR for positive and negative coordination, the method of collocated samples and the PRN method with full-stratum rotation.
