ESTIMATION OF THE LOCATION-SCALE PARAMETERS BASED ON RANKED SET SAMPLING COMBINED WITH ADDITIONAL BINOMIAL INFORMATION

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a modified version of ranked set sample which allows for the incorporation of more information in the inference procedure at almost no cost. This procedure is studied for the location-scale family using a likelihood framework. Our results show that the modified procedure produce more accurate inferences than the original ranked set sampling scheme. © 2023 Pakistan Journal of Statistics.
