Ranked set sampling (RSS) gives a new approach to dealing with sample selection. It was proposed in the seminal paper of McIntyre (1952. A method for unbiased selective sampling using ranked sets. Australian Journal of Agricultural Research 3, 385Γ390). His experience in agricultural appli- catio

β¦ Synopsis
Ranked Set Sampling is one of the new areas of study in this region of the world and is a growing subject of research. Recently, researchers have paid attention to the development of the types of sampling; though it was not welcome in the beginning, it has numerous advantages over the classical sampling techniques. Ranked Set Sampling is doubly random and can be used in any survey designs.The Pakistan Journal of Statistics had attracted statisticians and samplers around the world to write up aspects of Ranked Set Sampling. All of the essays in this book have been reviewed by many critics.This volume can be used as a reference book for postgraduate students in economics, social sciences, medical and biological sciences, and statistics. The subject is still a hot topic for MPhil and PhD students for their dissertations.
