Abstract
An efficient method is presented to compute the probability of selecti on of a specified subset from the set of all subsets of a fixed size w here the subsets are taken from a population whose units have varying individual probabilities of selection. The problem is motivated by the computation of the exact marginal likelihood for the Cox proportional hazards model.
