This paper presents some novel entropy estimators of a continuous random variable using simple random sampling (SRS), ranked set sampling (RSS), and double RSS (DRSS) schemes. The theoretical results of the proposed entropy estimators are derived. The proposed entropy estimators are compared in terms of the bias and the root mean squared errors, theoretically and numerically, with the Vasicek O. [A test for normality based on sample entropy, J. R. Stat. Soc. B 38:54–59, 1976.] entropy estimators using SRS, RSS, and DRSS schemes. It turns out that the new novel entropy estimators are substantially better than the existing Vasicek’s entropy estimators.

To improve the efficiency of an estimator with two auxiliary variables, we propose a new estimator of a finite population mean under simple random sampling. The bias and mean square error expressions of the proposed estimator have been obtained. In a comparison study, we found that the new estimator was consistently better than those of Abu-Dayyeh et al., Kadilar and Cingi, and Malik and Singh, as well as the regression estimator using two auxiliary variables, and that the minimum MSE values of the previous three above reported estimators were equal. We used four numerical examples in agricultural, biomedical, and power engineering to support these theoretical results, thus enriching the theory of survey samples by the development of new estimators with two auxiliary variables.

This chapter introduced basic elements on stratified simple random sampling (SSRS) on ranked set sampling (RSS). The chapter extends Singh et al. results to sampling a stratified population. The mean squared error (MSE) is derived. SRS is used independently for selecting the samples from the strata. The chapter extends Singh et al. results under the RSS design. They are used for developing the estimation in a stratified population. RSS is used for drawing the samples independently from the strata. The bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the developed estimators are derived. A comparison between the biases and MSEs obtained for the sampling designs SRS and RSS is made. Under mild conditions the comparisons sustained that each RSS model is better than its SRS alternative.

Procedures are developed for estimating means and variances with a mapped-plot design. The focus is on fixed-area plots, and simulations are used to validate the proposed estimators. The mapped-plot estimators for means and variances are compared with simple random sampling estimators that utilize only full plots. As expected, the mapped-plot estimates have smaller mean squared errors than the simple random sampling estimates. The theory for fixed-area plots is easy to apply, although additional work is required to map plots in the field. Corresponding theory for variable plots is developed but not tested with simulations. The difficulty of applying these methods to variable plots is greater, but not prohibitive.

<p>Almost of unspecifically studying methods have been applied teacher for teaching activities. That methods have effected unefficiency for knowledge transferring to student. That is the reason how we need studying methods that efficient, creative and innovative. The purpose of this study is for knowing the studying methods  “Make A Match” and how the impact to result study specifically for natural science. We use purpose sampling technics to definite research class and simple random sampling to definite part of sample of each class. The average score of experiment class are higher than control class. The different of both class is three point with normal distribution for each class and from homogeneity test showed that F hit = 1,163. Both of them have homogeneous varians. The average point of experiment class are higher than control class too. T-test showed  t hit &gt; t table (3,614 &gt; 1,69). Thus, the studying methods  “Make a Match” could raised the study results better than conventional methods. As the result, the quality of education can be more improved agree with contain and the purpose of studying in the school.</p>

PurposeDistribution. The purpose of this study is to obtain the modified maximum likelihood estimator of stress–strength model using the ranked set sampling, to obtain the asymptotic and bootstrap confidence interval of P[Y < X], to compare the performance of author’s estimates with the estimates under simple random sampling and to apply author’s estimates on head and neck cancer.Design/methodology/approachThe maximum likelihood estimator of R = P[Y < X], where X and Y are two independent inverse Weibull random variables common shape parameter that affect the shape of the distribution, and different scale parameters that have an effect on the distribution dispersion are given under ranked set sampling. Together with the asymptotic and bootstrap confidence interval, Monte Carlo simulation shows that this estimator performs better than the estimator under simple random sampling. Also, the asymptotic and bootstrap confidence interval under ranked set sampling is better than these interval estimators under simple random sampling. The application to head and neck cancer disease data shows that the estimator of R = P[Y < X] that shows the treatment with radiotherapy is more efficient than the treatment with a combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy under ranked set sampling that is better than these estimators under simple random sampling.FindingsThe ranked set sampling is more effective than the simple random sampling for the inference of stress-strength model based on inverse Weibull distribution.Originality/valueThis study sheds light on the author’s estimates on head and neck cancer.

In literature, several ratio type estimators of population mean were proposed by statisticians but none of them made pair wise comparison of these estimators. In this paper an attempt has been made for pair wise efficiency comparison of the same and find out the different conditions on which one estimator performed better than the other. Depending on the structure of data used, the efficiency comparison of these estimators is varied in certain circumstances. In this study we have revealed the efficiency conditions of the existing ratio estimators, through pair wise comparisons and examine the relative performance of ratio estimators in terms of efficiency and unbiasedness empirically.

This study centered on Edmodo as an online instructional delivery technique for sustaining teaching and learning activities in covid-19 era in public universities in North-Central, Nigeria. The study was guided by two objectives and two research questions and one hypothesis. This study adopted descriptive survey and quasi-experimental research designs. The sample of the study comprised 100 students in two universities (each for treatment and control groups) and 7008 lecturers drawn from three public universities in North-Central, Nigeria. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used for selecting universities and the sample of the study. First, stratified sampling was used to group both lecturers and students into two strata. Thereafter, simple random sampling was used to select the universities and sample of the study; using lottery method with replacement. 10% proportionate sample was used to select the lecturers. Curriculum Studies Achievement Test (C-SAT) and questionnaire were used as instruments for data gathering. Data collected were analyzed with simple percentage, mean and t-test statistical techniques. Finding showed that the level of awareness of university lecturers on Edmodo as a technological instructional delivery technique is very low or poor. It was also indicated that there is significant difference between the mean achievement scores of university students taught curriculum studies with Edmodo and their counterparts taught with lecture technique; as those in the treatment group performed better than those in control group. The study recommended that: school management, the government and ICT-related Non-governmental organizations should help in organizing workshops and seminars for lecturers in order to advance their knowledge and awareness on ICT usage especially Edmodo and others. Also, since the students who were taught with Edmodo significantly performed better than their counterparts in the control group who were taught with lecture method, lecturers should be encouraged to use Edmodo for teaching and learning.
