Resumen de Kernel-based estimation of P(X >Y) in ranked set sampling

M. Mahdizadeh, Ehsan Zamanzade

• This article is directed at the problem of reliability estimation using ranked set sampling. A nonparametric estimator based on kernel density estimation is developed. The estimator is shown to be superior to its analog in simple random sampling. Monte Carlo simulations are employed to assess performance of the proposed estimator. Two real data sets are analysed for illustration.
