Abstract

ABSTRACTAs a well-known method for selecting representative samples of populations, ranked set sampling (RSS) has been considered increasingly in recent years. This (RSS) method has proved to be more efficient than the usual simple random sampling (SRS) for estimating most of the population parameters. In order to have a more efficient estimate of the population mean, a new sampling scheme called as robust extreme double ranked set sampling (REDRSS) is introduced and investigated in this paper. A simulation study shows that using REDRSS scheme gives more efficient estimates of population mean with smaller variance than the usual SRS, RSS and most other sampling schemes based on RSS estimators in non-uniform (symmetric or non-symmetric) distributions.
