In RSSampling: Ranked Set Sampling

Description

The Mrss function samples from a target population by using modified ranked set sampling methods. Ranking procedure of X is done by using the concomitant variable Y.

Usage

  con.Mrss(X,Y,m,r=1,type="r",sets=FALSE,concomitant=FALSE,p)

Arguments

X	A vector of target population
Y	A vector of concomitant variable from target population
m	Size of units in each set
r	Number of cycles. (By default = 1)
type	type of the modified RSS method. "r" for traditional RSS, "p" for Percentile RSS, "m" for Median RSS, "bg" for Balanced Groups RSS, "e" for Extreme RSS. (By default = "r")
sets	logical; if TRUE, ranked set samples are given with ranked sets (see rankedsets)
concomitant	logical; if TRUE, ranked set sample of concomitant variable is given
p	Value of percentile for Percentile RSS method

Details

X and Y must be vectors and also they should be in same length. Value of percentile (p) must be between 0 and 1.

Value

corr.coef	the correlation coefficient between X and Y
var.of.interest	the sets of X, which are ranked by Y
concomitant.var.	the ranked sets of Y
sample.x	the obtained ranked set sample of X
sample.y	the obtained ranked set sample of Y
