Reliability Estimation in Multistage Ranked Set Sampling
M. Mahdizadeh, Ehsan Zamanzade
Abstract
A nonparametric reliability estimator based on multistage ranked set sampling is developed. It is shown that the estimator is unbiased and its efficiency relative to the simple random sampling rival is increasing in the number of stages. Numerical experiments are used to illustrate the theoretical findings. The suggested procedure is applied on a sport data set.
