This paper states that most commonly used minimum divergence estimators are MLEs for suited generalized bootstrapped sampling schemes. Optimality in the sense of Bahadur for associated tests of fit under such sampling is considered.

A flexible ranked set sampling scheme including some various existing sampling methods  is proposed. This scheme may be used to minimize the  error of ranking and the cost of sampling. Based on the data obtained from this scheme, the maximum likelihood estimation as well as the Fisher information are studied for the  scale family of distributions. The existence and uniqueness of  the  maximum likelihood estimator  of the scale parameter of the exponential  and  normal distributions are  investigated. Moreover, the optimal scheme is derived via simulation and numerical computations.

Recently, a generalized ranked set sampling (RSS) scheme has been introduced which encompasses several existing RSS schemes, namely varied L RSS (VLRSS), and it provides more precise estimators of the population mean than the estimators with the traditional simple random sampling (SRS) and RSS schemes. In this paper, we extend the work and consider the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the location and scale parameters when sampling from a location-scale family of distributions. In order to give more insight into the performance of VLRSS with respect to SRS and RSS schemes, the asymptotic relative precisions of the MLEs using VLRSS relative to that using SRS and RSS are compared for some usual location-scale distributions. It turns out that the MLEs with VLRSS are more precise than those with the existing sampling schemes.
