We consider estimation of quantiles when data are generated from ranked set sampling. A new estimator is proposed and is shown to have a smaller asymptotic variance for all distributions. It is also ...

This paper discusses some of the concepts underlying small sample estimation and reexamines, in particular, the current notions on "unbiased" estimation. Alternatives to the usual unbiased property ...

Survey sampling and estimation methods form the cornerstone of modern statistical inference, underpinning research across the social, medical, and natural sciences. At their heart, these methods ...
