obsno.Mrss {RSSampling}

observation numbers based on classical and modified ranked set sampling methods

Description

The obsno.Mrss function gives the observation numbers to sample from a target population by using modified ranked set sampling methods. Ranking is done using the concomitant variable Y.

Usage

  obsno.Mrss(Y,m,r=1,type="r",p)

Arguments

Y

A vector of concomitant variable from target population

m

Size of units in each set

r

Number of cycles

type

type of the modified RSS method. "r" for traditional RSS, "p" for Percentile RSS, "m" for Median RSS, "bg" for Balanced Groups RSS, "e" for Extreme RSS. Default value is "r"

p

Value of percentile for Percentile RSS method

Details

Concomitant variable Y must be a vector.
