st: -svyset- methods to account for singleton PSUs

Can anyone cite references that discuss the singleunit(centered) and
singleunit(scaled) methods for accommodating singleton PSUs? I would
expect the certainty and scaled methods to yield downward-biased
variance estimates and the centered method to yield upward-biased
estimates. However, it is not clear to me if and how the magnitudes
of the biases differ among the methods.
Regards,
Jim
