Multistage Median Ranked Set Sampling for Estimating the Population Median
نویسندگان
چکیده
We modify RSS to come up with new sampling method, namely, Multistage Median Ranked Set Sampling (MMRSS). The MMRSS was suggested for estimating the population median and to increase the efficiency of the estimator for specific value of the sample size. The MMRSS was compared to the Simple Random Sampling (SRS), Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) and Median Ranked Set Sampling (MRSS) methods. It is found that MMRSS gives an unbiased estimate of the population median of symmetric distributions and it is more efficient than SRS, RSS and MRSS based on the same number of measured units. Also, it was found that the efficiency of MMRSS increases in r (r is the number of stage) for specific value of the sample size. For asymmetric distributions considered in this study, MMRSS has a small bias, close to zero as r increases, especially with odd sample size. A set of real data was used to illustrate the method.

Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling: Optimum and Proportional Allocations
In this paper, for the Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling (SMRSS), proposed by Ibrahim et al. (2010), we examine the proportional and optimum sample allocations that are two well-known methods for sample allocation in stratified sampling. We show that the variances of the mean estimators of a symmetric population in SMRSS using optimum and proportional allocations to strata are smaller than ...

Double robust extreme ranked set sampling (DRERSS) and its properties for estimating the population median are suggested. The performance of DRERSS with respect to simple random sampling (SRS), ranked set sampling (RSS) and extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS) schemes is considered. Real data set that consist of heights of 346 students are used to evaluate the DRERSS method. It is found that when...
متن کاملQuantile Estimation from Ranked Set Sampling Data
We consider estimation of quantiles when data are generated from ranked set sampling. A new estimator is proposed and is shown to have a smaller asymptotic variance for all distributions. It is also shown that the optimal sampling strategy is to select observations with one fixed rank from different ranked sets. Both the optimal rank and the relative efficiency gain with respect to simple rando...

Ranked set sampling is applicable whenever ranking of a set of sampling units can be done easily by a judgement method or based on the measurement of an auxiliary variable on the units selected. In this work, we consider ranked set sampling, in which ranking of units are done based on measurements made on an easily and exactly measurable auxiliary variable X which is correlated with the study v...
متن کاملImproved entropy based test of uniformity using ranked set samples
Ranked set sampling (RSS) is known to be superior to the traditional simple random sampling (SRS) in the sense that it often leads to more efficient inference procedures. Basic version of RSS has been extensively modified to come up with schemes resulting in more accurate estimators of the population attributes. Multistage ranked set sampling (MSRSS) is such a variation surpassing RSS. Entropy ...
