Multivariate optimal allocation for different domains in one and two stages stratified sample design. R2BEAT extends the Neyman (1934) <doi:10.2307/2342192> – Tschuprow (1923) allocation method to the case of several variables, adopting a generalization of the Bethel’s proposal (1989). R2BEAT develops this methodology but, moreover, it allows to determine the sample allocation in the multivariate and multi-domains case of estimates for two-stage stratified samples.

It also allows to perform Primary Stage Units selection. This package requires the availability of ReGenesees, that can be installed from <https://github.com/DiegoZardetto/ReGenesees>.
