A new scheme ‘Rhombus Ranked Set Sampling’ (RRSS) is developed in this research together with its properties for estimating the population means. Mathematical validation along with the simulation evaluation is presented. The proposed method is an addition to the family of different sampling methods and generalization of ‘Folded Ranked Set Sampling’ (FRSS). For the simulation process, nine probability distributions are considered for the efficiency comparison of proposed scheme from which four are symmetric and rest are asymmetric among which Weibull and beta distributions which are used twice, unlike parametric values. (Al-Naseer, 2007 and Bani-Mustafa, 2011). Through simulation processes, it is observed that RRSS is competent and more reliable relative to simple random sampling (SRS), ranked set sampling (RSS) and folded ranked set sampling (FRSS). It is noted that for all the underlying distributions, an increase in the efficiency of Rhombus Ranked Set Sampling (RRSS) is achieved via increasing the size of the sample ‘p’. Besides the efficiency comparison, consistency of the proposed method is also valued by using Co-efficient of Variation (CV).  Secondary data on zinc (Zn) concentration and lead (Pb) contamination in different parts and tissues of freshwater fish was collected to illustrate the evaluation of RRSS against SRS, RSS, FRSS and ERSS (extreme ranked set sampling). The results obtained through real life illustration defend the simulation study and hence indicates that the RRSS estimator is efficient substitute for existing methods (Al-Omari, 2011).

In this paper, permutation test of comparing two-independent samples is investigated in the context of extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS). Three test statistics are proposed. The statistical power of these new test statistics are evaluated numerically. The results are compared with the statistical power of the classical independent two-sample $t$-test, Mann-Whitney $U$ test, and the usual two-sample permutation test under simple random sampling (SRS). In addition, the method of computing a confidence interval for the two-sample permutation problem under ERSS is explained. The performance of this method is compared with the intervals obtained by SRS and Mann-Whitney procedures in terms of empirical coverage probability and expected length. The comparison shows that the proposed statistics outperform their counterparts. Finally, the application of the proposed statistics is illustrated using a real life example.

Cost-effective sampling design is a problem of major concern in some experiments especially when the measurement of the characteristic of interest is costly or painful or time-consuming. In this article, we investigate ratio-type estimators of the population mean of the study variable, involving either the first or the third quartile of the auxiliary variable, using ranked set sampling (RSS) and extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS) schemes. The properties of the estimators are obtained. The estimators in RSS and ERSS are compared to their counterparts in simple random sampling (SRS) for normal data. The numerical results show that the estimators in RSS and ERSS are significantly more efficient than their counterparts in SRS.

In this paper, we address the estimation of the parameters for a two-parameter Kumaraswamy distribution by using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods based on simple random sampling, ranked set sampling, and maximum ranked set sampling with unequal samples. The Bayes loss functions used are symmetric and asymmetric. The Metropolis-Hastings-within-Gibbs algorithm was employed to calculate the Bayes point estimates and credible intervals. We illustrate a simulation experiment to compare the implications of the proposed point estimators in sense of bias, estimated risk, and relative efficiency as well as evaluate the interval estimators in terms of average confidence interval length and coverage percentage. Finally, a real-life example and remarks are presented.

Regression is used to estimate the population mean of the response variable, , in the two cases where the population mean of the concomitant (auxiliary) variable, , is known and where it is unknown. In the latter case, a double sampling method is used to estimate the population mean of the concomitant variable. We invesitagate the performance of the two methods using extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS), as discussed by Samawi et al. (1996). Theoretical and Monte Carlo evaluation results as well as an illustration using actual data are presented. The results show that if the underlying joint distribution of and  is symmetric, then using ERSS to obtain regression estimates is more efficient than using ranked set sampling (RSS) or  simple random sampling (SRS).

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.

Abstract In this study, we estimate the parameters of the Generalized Exponential Distribution using Moving Extreme Ranked Set Sampling (MERSS). Using the maximum likelihood estimation method, we derive the expressions. MERSS estimates are compared with estimates obtained by simple random sampling (SRS) using a real data set. We also study the other variations of the methods of Ranked Set Sampling like Quartile Ranked Set Sampling(QRSS), Median Ranked Set Sampling(MRSS) and Flexible Ranked Set Sampling(FLERSS) (a scheme based on QRSS and MRSS). For known shape parameter values, we present coefficients for linear combinations of order statistics for least squares estimates. Here, the expressions are derived through maximum likelihood, and the estimates are calculated numerically. Simulated results indicate that estimates generated using least-squares and the maximum likelihood method for Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) perform better than those generated using Simple Random Sampling (SRS). Asymptotically, MERSS outperforms SRS, QRSS, MRSS, and FLERSS.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the parameters of Downton’sbivariate exponential distribution using moving extreme ranked set sampling(MERSS). The estimators obtained are compared via their biases andmean square errors to their counterparts using simple random sampling (SRS).Monte Carlo simulations are used whenever analytical comparisons are difficult.It is shown that these estimators based on MERSS with a concomitantvariable are more efficient than the corresponding ones using SRS. Also,MERSS with a concomitant variable is easier to use in practice than RSS witha concomitant variable. Furthermore, the best unbiased estimators among allunbiased linear combinations of the MERSS elements are derived for someparameters.

Ranked set sampling (RSS) is an efficient technique for estimating parameters and is applicable whenever ranking on a set of sampling units can be done easily by a judgment method or based on an auxiliary variable. In this paper, we assume [Formula: see text]to have bivariate Lomax distribution where a study variable [Formula: see text]is difficult and/or expensive to measure and is correlated with an auxiliary variable [Formula: see text] which is readily measurable. The auxiliary variable is used to rank the sampling units. In this article, we propose an estimator for the scale parameter of bivariate Lomax distribution using some of the modified RSS schemes. Efficiency comparison of the proposed estimators is performed numerically as well as graphically. A simulation study is also performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed estimators. Finally, we implement the results to real-life datasets. AMS classification codes: 62D05, 62F07, 62G30
