Title: Optimal Allocation for the Mean of the Paired Ranked Set Samples

Keywords: paired ranked set sample ; efficiency ; sample mean
Abstract:

In this article, we discuss an alternative ranked set sampling scheme--paired ranked set sampling in which two units are quantified in each set, and investigate its effect on sample mean. We show that the correlation structure arise from the sampling scheme decreases the efficiency of the sample mean. The stronger the correlation structure is, the more the efficiency of the sample mean decreases. Therefore the destination of the work is to find the optimal allocation of the quantified units for paired ranked set samples.
