Ratio-Type Estimation Using Scrabled Auxiliary Variables in Stratification Under Simple Random Sampling and Ranked Set Sampling

Abstract

This chapter introduced basic elements on stratified simple random sampling (SSRS) on ranked set sampling (RSS). The chapter extends Singh et al. results to sampling a stratified population. The mean squared error (MSE) is derived. SRS is used independently for selecting the samples from the strata. The chapter extends Singh et al. results under the RSS design. They are used for developing the estimation in a stratified population. RSS is used for drawing the samples independently from the strata. The bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the developed estimators are derived. A comparison between the biases and MSEs obtained for the sampling designs SRS and RSS is made. Under mild conditions the comparisons sustained that each RSS model is better than its SRS alternative.
