Abstract
In this paper, first a brief introduction of ranked set sampling is presented. Then, construction of confidence intervals for a quantile of the parent distribution based on ordered ranked set sample is given. Because the corresponding confidence coefficient is an step function, one may not be able to find the exact prescribed value. With this in mind, we introduce a new method and show that one can obtained an optimal confidence interval by appealing the proposed approach. We also compare the proposed scheme with the other existence methods.

Abstract
In some practical problems, obtaining observations for the variable of interest is costly and time consuming. In such situations, considering appropriate sampling schemes, in order to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency are worthwhile. In these cases, ranked set sampling is a suitable alternative for simple random sampling. In this paper, the problem of Bayes estimation of the parameter of Pareto distribution under squared error and LINEX loss functions is studied. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, for both sampling methods, namely, simple random sampling and ranked set sampling, the Bayes risk estimators are computed and compared. Finally, the efficiency of the obtained estimators is illustrated throughout using a real data set. The results demonstrate the superiority of the ranked set sampling scheme, therefore, we recommend using ranked set sampling method whenever possible.

Abstract
In this paper, an improved mean estimator for unbalanced ranked set samples is proposed. The estimator is obtained by using the fact that distribution function of order statistics are stochastically ordered. Also, it is showed that this estimator is convergent and has better performance than its empirical counterpart in unbalanced ranked set samples.

Abstract
In this study, the E-Bayesian estimation of the reliability parameter, R = P(Y < X < Z), when X, Y and Z are three independent inverse Rayleigh distribution with different parameters, were estimated based on ranked set sampling method. To assess the efficiency of the obtained estimates, we compute the average absolute bias and relative efficiency of the derived estimates and compare them with those based on the corresponding simple random sample through Monte Carlo simulations. Also, E-Bayesian estimation of R is compared with its maximum likelihood estimation in each method. Finally, three real data sets are used to analyze the estimation methods.

Abstract
The empirical Bayes estimation of the exponential distribution parameter under squared error and LINEX loss functions is investigated when the record collects the data ranked set sampling scheme method. Then, point and interval predictions for future record values are studied. The results of this sampling scheme are compared with the products of the inverse sampling scheme. To compare the accuracy of estimators, Bayes risk and posterior risk criteria are used. These point predictors are compared in the sense of their mean squared prediction errors. To evaluate the prediction intervals for both the sampling schemes, the average interval length and coverage probability are computed and compared. In the present study, the hyperparameters are estimated in two methods. By studying the simulation and presenting real data, the estimation methods are compared, and the performance of the introduced schemes is evaluated.

Abstract
The ranked set sampling method uses the ranking information of the units to provide a more representative sample of the population to the survey designers. The sampling distribution is closer to the actual distribution of the population. In this article, to ensure the effectiveness of ranked set sampling in extensive surveys conducted to prepare official statistics, we intend to use this sampling method to improve the efficiency of key estimates of household expenditure and income survey of the Statistics Center of Iran. The results show that using ranked set sampling to design household expenditure and income surveys can improve the efficiency of key estimates of the study, provided that the ranking variable used has a high correlation with the main variables of the study. Obviously, in the absence of a suitable and available variable for ranking the units, the information of the sampling frame can be used to construct a ranking variable correlated with the key variables of the survey.
