Rank Set Sampling

This paper considers the concomitant-based rank set sampling (CRSS) for estimation of the sensitive proportion. It is shown that CRSS procedure provides an unbiased estimator of the population sensitive proportion, and it is always more precise than corresponding sample sensitive proportion (Warner SL (1965)) that based on simple random sampling (SRS) without increasing sampling cost. Additionally, a new estimator based on ratio method is introduced using CRSS protocol, preserving the respondent’s confidentiality through a randomizing device. The numerical results of these estimators are obtained by using numerical integration technique. An application to real data is also given to support the methods.

Stratified Model

The authors develop the estimation of the difference of means of a pair of variables X and Y when we deal with missing observations. A seminal paper in this line is due to Bouza and Prabhu-Ajgaonkar when the sample and the subsamples are selected using simple random sampling. In this this chapter, the authors consider the use of ranked set-sampling for estimating the difference when we deal with a stratified population. The sample error is deduced. Numerical comparisons with the classic stratified model are developed using simulated and real data.

In this chapter, the authors consider the problem of estimating the population means of two sensitive variables by making use ranked set sampling. The final estimators are unbiased and the variance expressions that they derive show that ranked set sampling is more efficient than simple random sampling. A convex combination of the variance expressions of the resultant estimators is minimized in order to suggest optimal sample sizes for both sampling schemes. The relative efficiency of the proposed estimators is then compared to the corresponding estimators for simple random sampling based on simulation study and real data applications. SAS codes utilized in the simulation to collect the empirical evidence and application are included.

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.

The Mean

The performance of a regression estimator based on the double ranked set sample (DRSS) scheme, introduced by Al-Saleh and Al-Kadiri (2000), is investigated when the mean of the auxiliary variable X is unknown. Our primary analysis and simulation indicates that using the DRSS regression estimator for estimating the population mean substantially increases relative efficiency compared to using regression estimator based on simple random sampling (SRS) or ranked set sampling (RSS) (Yu and Lam, 1997) regression estimator.  Moreover, the regression estimator using DRSS is also more efficient than the naïve estimators of the population mean using SRS, RSS (when the correlation coefficient is at least 0.4) and DRSS for high correlation coefficient (at least 0.91.) The theory is illustrated using a real data set of trees.

<p>The problem of bark eating caterpillar, <em>Indarbela quadrinotata</em> infestation has been observed from variety of horticulture and forest tree species in India. The estimation of infestation of this caterpillar using conventional sampling methods was found difficult because counting the number of caterpillar in each tree is practically not feasible. Ranked set sampling (RSS) is a cost efficient method which provides improved estimators of mean and variance when actual measurement of the observations is difficult to obtain but a reasonable ranking of the units in the sample is relatively easy. In the present study, poplar, <em>Populus deltoides</em> plantation of Western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand was taken for the assessment of <em>Indarbela quadrinotata</em> infestation. The RSS estimator of population mean and variance have been discussed and compared with the corresponding estimators from simple random sampling (SRS). The relative precision (RP) of RSS procedure with respect to the SRS for four different set sizes of <em>k </em>= 3, 5, 7, and 10 has been deliberated. It was seen that RP increase with the increment in <em>k</em>. The method of RSS was found suitable for the assessment of insect pest infestation.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>: </strong><em>Indarbela quadrinotata</em>, <em>Populus deltoides</em>, simple random sampling, ranked set sample, order statistics.</p>
