In a survey using a pp-th order inclusion probability design, let πi\pi_i denote the first-order inclusion probability and πij\pi_{ij} the joint inclusion probability. For the Sen-Yates-Grundy (SYG) variance estimator of the total Y^HT=isyiπi\hat{Y}_{HT} = \sum_{i \in s} \frac{y_i}{\pi_i}, which of the following conditions is required for the estimator to be non-negative and unbiased for any fixed sample size nn?
