his paper addresses the estimation of the parameter of Rayleigh distribution using different methods of frequentist and Bayesian estimation approaches based on different sampling schemes namely, simple random sample, ranked set sample, modified...

Ranked set sampling (RSS) is known to be superior to the tradi

tional simple random sampling

(SRS) in the sense that it often leads to more efficient infere

nce procedures. Basic version of RSS

has been extensively...

Ranked set sampling (RSS) is a cost-efficient technique for data collection when the

units in a population can be easily judgment ranked by any cheap method other

than actual measurements. Using auxiliary information in developing...

Lifetime performance index (CL) is a flexible and effective tool for evaluating product quality and conforming rate. Ranked set sampling (RSS) scheme is applied for Baysian estimator of CL based on square error loss. We assume that lifetimes...

We improve three tests of perfect ranking in ranked set sampling proposed by Li and Balakrishnan (2008) using a permutation approach. This simple way of extending all three concepts to comparisons across different cycles increases the power. Two...

When measuring units are expensive or time consuming, while ranking them is relatively easy and inexpensive, it is known that ranked set sampling (RSS) is preferable to simple random sampling (SRS). Many authors have suggested several extensions...
