Abstract:
|
We generalize the idea of ranked set sampling by allowing it to incorporate dependent order statistics of various sizes. The data so obtained is used to estimate the distribution function and compare two distributions. Asymptotic results are established and are compared with simulation runs. An application using weather data is also provided.
