Even order ranked set sampling (EORSS) is a novel proposed ranked set sampling scheme connected with an auxiliary variable correlated with the study variable. This scheme quantifies only the one sampling unit which is at even position from each ranking set by employing specific criteria. The performance of the ratio estimator under EORSS is compared to its contemporary estimators in simple random sampling (SRS), ranked set sampling (RSS), median ranked set sampling (MRSS) and quartile ranked set sampling (QRSS) exploiting the same number of quantified units. The simulation results proved that EORSS is an efficient alternative sampling scheme for ratio estimation than SRS, RSS, MRSS and QRSS.

AbstractThe present paper provides a remedy for improved estimation of population mean of a study variable, using the information related to an auxiliary variable in the situations under Simple Random Sampling Scheme. We suggest a new class of estimators of population mean and the Bias and MSE of the class are derived upto the first order of approximation. The least value of the MSE for the suggested class of estimators is also obtained for the optimum value of the characterizing scaler. The MSE has also been compared with the considered existing competing estimators both theoretically and empirically. The theoretical conditions for the increased efficiency of the proposed class, compared to the competing estimators, is verified using a natural population.

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.

Estimation of population mean of study variable Y suffers loss of precision in the presence of high variation in the data set. The use of auxiliary information incorporated in construction of an estimator under ranked set sampling scheme results in efficient estimation of population mean. In this paper, we propose an efficient generalized chain regression-cum-chain ratio type estimator to estimate finite population mean of study variable under stratified extreme-cum-median ranked set sampling utilizing information on two auxiliary variables. Mean square error (MSE) of the proposed generalized estimator is derived up to first order of approximation. The applications of the proposed estimator under symmetrical and asymmetrical probability distributions are discussed using simulation study and real-life data set for comparisons of efficiency. It is concluded that the proposed generalized estimator performs efficiently as compared to some existing estimators. It is also observed that the efficiency of the proposed estimator is directly proportional to the correlations between the study variable and its auxiliary variables.

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.

Abstract With this article in mind, we have found some results using eigenvalues of graph with sign. It is intriguing to note that these results help us to find the determinant of Normalized Laplacian matrix of signed graph and their coe cients of characteristic polynomial using the number of vertices. Also we found bounds for the lowest value of eigenvalue.

In many surveys, we often deal with situations where measuring the study variable is expensive; however, there are easy-to-measure characteristics which can be used as ranking information to obtain more representative samples from the population. Ranked set sampling is successfully employed in these cases as an alternative to commonly used simple random sampling. When the data is ordinal categorical, it is common to apply the ordinal logistic regression approach to ranked set sampling data for the estimation of parameters. This technique first depends on the information of training data. Besides, one is not capable of using the ranking information in the estimation process. In this paper, we propose a ranked set sampling scheme in which ranking information from multiple sources can be combined and incorporated efficiently into both data collection and estimation. The ranked set sampling data is used for non-parametric and maximum likelihood estimation of ordinal categorical population. Through extensive simulation studies, the performance of estimators is evaluated. The methods are finally applied to analyze bone disorder data and obesity data.

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 manuscript, we investigate the estimation of the unknown reliability measure R = P [Y < X], in the case where Y and X are two independent random variables with Topp–Leone distributions. As the main contribution, various advanced sampling strategies are studied. The suggested strategies are simple random, ranked set, and median ranked set samplings. Firstly, based on the maximum likelihood, we give an efficient estimator of R when the observations of the two random variables are selected from the same simple random sample. Secondly, such an estimator is addressed when the observations of the two random variables are selected from the ranked set sampling method. Then, based on median ranked set sampling, the maximum likelihood estimator of R is addressed in all the four cases. When the observations from the two random variables are selected from the same set size, two cases are considered, while the other two cases are considered at different set sizes. A simulation research is developed to evaluate the behavior of the obtained estimates based on standard and median ranked set samplings with their simple random sampling equivalents. The ratio of mean square error is used to assess the effectiveness of these estimates.

In this paper, the behavior of ranked set sampling is analyzed considering the knowledge of the auxiliary variable. The suggested estimators are compared with their simple random sampling counterparts. A numerical study is developed using data from a study developed on the contamination due to burning compost from solid waste from hospitals.
