“…Construction of the matrix P and evaluation of P 21 − 1/15: Table 2 gives the Monte Carlo estimates for the joint selection probabilities obtained with the three sampling algorithms in a design with M = 72, N = 9, n = 2 and an m vector given by (20,22,20,22,14,12,12,12,10). All the z-statistics comparing MCMC and hypergeometric joint selection probabilities are less than 2 in absolute value.…”
