\title{Random systematic sampling}
\description{
Selects a sample using the systematic method, 
when the order of the population units
is random (unequal probabilities, without replacement, fixed sample size).
}
\usage{
UPrandomsystematic(pik,eps=1e-6)
}
\arguments{
\item{pik}{vector of the inclusion probabilities.}
\item{eps}{control value, by default equal to 1e-6.}
}
\value{
Returns a vector (with elements 0 and 1) of size N, the population size.  
Each element k of this vector indicates the status of unit k 
(1, unit k is selected in the sample; 0, otherwise). The value 'eps' is used to control pik 
(pik>eps and pik<1-eps).
