conrss: Selecting ranked set sample with a concomitant variable

In RSSampling: Ranked Set Sampling

Description

The con.rss function samples from a target population by using ranked set sampling method. Ranking procedure of X is done by using concomitant variable Y.

Usage

con.rss(X,Y,m,r=1,sets=FALSE,concomitant=FALSE)

Arguments

X	A vector of interested variable from target population
Y	A vector of concomitant variable from target population
m	Size of units in each set
r	Number of cycles. (Default by = 1)
sets	logical; if TRUE, ranked set sample is given with ranked sets(see rankedsets)
concomitant	logical; if TRUE, ranked set sample of concomitant variable is given

Details

X and Y must be vectors and also they should be in same length.

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
