abstract: Provides a framework for multipurpose optimal resource allocation in survey
  sampling, extending the classical optimal allocation principles introduced by Tschuprow
  (1923) and Neyman (1934) to multidomain and multivariate allocation problems. The
  primary method mosalloc() allows for the consideration of precision and cost constraints
  at the subpopulation level while minimizing either a vector of sampling errors or
  survey costs across a broad range of optimal sample allocation problems. The approach
  supports both single- and multistage designs. For single-stage stratified random
  sampling, the mosallocSTRS() function offers a user- friendly interface. Sensitivity
  analysis is supported through the problem's dual variables, which are naturally
  obtained via the internal use of the Embedded Conic Solver from the 'ECOSolveR'
  package. See Willems (2025, <https://doi.org/10.25353/ubtr-9200-484c-5c89>) for
  a detailed description of the theory behind 'MOSAlloc'.
