Description: Survey sampling using permanent random numbers (PRN's). A
        solution to the problem of unknown overlap between survey
        samples, which leads to a low precision in estimates when the
        survey is repeated or combined with other surveys. The PRN
        solution is to supply the U(0, 1) random numbers to the
        sampling procedure, instead of having the sampling procedure
        generate them. In Lindblom (2014) <doi:10.2478/jos-2014-0047>,
        and therein cited papers, it is shown how this is carried out
        and how it improves the estimates. This package supports two
        common fixed-size sampling procedures (simple random sampling
        and probability-proportional-to-size sampling) and includes a
        function for transforming the PRN's in order to control the
        sample overlap.
