Some Estimators for the Population Mean Using Auxiliary Information Under Ranked Set Sampling

Estimation of Variance of Normal Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling

Introduction     In some biological, environmental or ecological studies, there are situations in which obtaining exact measurements of sample units are much harder than ranking them in a set of small size without referring to their precise values. In these situations, ranked set sampling (RSS), proposed by McIntyre (1952), can be regarded as an alternative to the usual simple random sampling ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Unbalanced ranked set sampling for estimating a population proportion.

The application of ranked set sampling (RSS) techniques to data from a dichotomous population is currently an active research topic, and it has been shown that balanced RSS leads to improvement in precision over simple random sampling (SRS) for estimation of a population proportion. Balanced RSS, however, is not in general optimal in terms of variance reduction for this setting. The objective o...
