Estimation of mean based on modified robust extreme ranked set sampling

In this paper, double robust extreme ranked set sampling (DRERSS) and its properties for estimating the population mean are considered. It turns out that, when the underlying distribution is symmetric, DRERSS gives unbiased estimators of the population mean. Also, it is found that DRERSS is more efficient than the simple random sampling (SRS), ranked set sampling (RSS), and extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS) methods. For asymmetric distributions considered in this study, the DRERSS has a small bias and it is more efficient than SRS, RSS, and ERSS. A real data set is used to illustrate the DRERSS method.
