Generalization of Inclusion Probabilities in Ranked Set Sampling

In a finite population setting, Ozdemir and Gokpinar (A Generalized formula for inclusion probabilities in ranked set sampling, Hacettepe J. Math. Stat 36 (1), 89–99, 2007) obtained a generalized formula for inclusion probabilities in Ranked Set Sampling for all set sizes when the cycle size is 1. This paper extends the generalized formula for inclusion probabilities to all set and cycle sizes. We also support this formula with a numerical example.
