A new ranked set sampling procedure with unequal samples (RSSU) offers higher precision for estimating population means compared to ranked set sampling (RSS) and median ranked set sampling (MRSS). This method improves statistical accuracy in ecological studies.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Statistics
  • Forestry

Background:

  • Accurate estimation of population means is crucial in ecological and forestry research.
  • Traditional sampling methods may lack efficiency in certain scenarios.
  • Ranked set sampling (RSS) and median ranked set sampling (MRSS) offer improvements over simple random sampling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel ranked set sampling procedure with unequal samples (RSSU).
  • To compare the statistical precision of the RSSU estimator against RSS and MRSS estimators.
  • To demonstrate the application of RSSU in a real-world forestry context.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the ranked set sampling procedure with unequal samples (RSSU).
  • Comparative analysis of the precision of RSSU, RSS, and MRSS estimators.

  • Application of the RSSU method to estimate the mean diameter at breast height of longleaf-pine trees.

    • Main Results:

    • The RSSU estimator demonstrated higher relative precision compared to RSS and MRSS estimators.
    • The proposed RSSU method provides a more accurate estimation of the population mean.
    • The study successfully applied RSSU to a practical forestry problem.

    Conclusions:

    • The ranked set sampling procedure with unequal samples (RSSU) is a more precise method for population mean estimation.
    • RSSU offers significant advantages over existing RSS and MRSS techniques.
    • This method has practical implications for ecological and forestry data collection and analysis.
