Median ranked set sampling with size biased probability of selection

Median ranked set sampling may be combined with size biased probability of selection. A two-phase sample is assumed. In the first phase, units are selected with probability proportional to their size. In the second phase, units are selected using median ranked set sampling to increase the efficiency of the estimators relative to simple random sampling. There is also an increase in the efficiency relative to ranked set sampling (for some probability distribution functions). There will be a loss in efficiency depending on the amount of errors in ranking the units, the median ranked set sampling can be used to reduce the errors in ranking the units selected from the population. Estimators of the population mean and the population size are considered. The median ranked set sampling with probability proportion to size and with errors in ranking is considered and compared with ranked set sampling with errors in ranking. Computer simulation results for some probability distributions are also given.
