abstract: Fast implementations of survey sampling algorithms for single-stage probability
  sampling from finite populations, written in C. Provides equal probability methods
  (simple random sampling, systematic, Bernoulli), unequal probability methods (conditional
  Poisson / maximum entropy, Sampford, Brewer, systematic PPS, Pareto, sequential
  Poisson, Poisson, Chromy's minimum replacement, multinomial), balanced sampling
  via the cube method, and spatially balanced sampling via the local pivotal method
  and spatially correlated Poisson sampling. All sampling functions return design
  objects carrying sample indices, inclusion probabilities, and design metadata. Generics
  compute joint inclusion probabilities, pairwise expectations, and sampling covariances
  for variance estimation. Mostly based on algorithms from Tillé (2006, <https://doi.org/10.1007/0-387-34240-0>).
