Judgment post stratification is a sampling strategy which uses ranking information to give more efficient statistical inference than simple random sampling. In this paper, we introduce a new mean estimator for judgment post stratification. The estimator is obtained by using ordering observations in post strata. Our simulation results indicate that the new estimator performs better than its leading competitors in the literature.

In this article, we wish to find and select appropriate estimators for statistical population density function using line transect sampling in the present of detection functions with light and heavy tailed distributions. Also it is shown that how the type of detection function could be effective in selection of the best estimator and then we propose a unbiased estimators that has the lower variance than the existed estimators. the simulation results show that if detection functions have heavy tailed distribution, then the new estimators have least mean square error.
