Re: [R] Ranked Set Sampling

2010-10-04 Thread Ahmed Albatineh
Thanks to all who took the time to write. I have done my job of searching
before posting the query, I am a graduate of Western Michigan University and
Joe McKean is my adviser and studied his book Robust Nonparametric
Statistical Methods as Robust class textbook. THERE IS NOTHING there that
discuss Ranked Set Sampling. The paper published by Jeff Terpstra who is Joe
McKean Student graduated 1997 DOES NOT DEAL WITH RANKED SET SAMPLING. Peter
I thought at least one in the whole world would know something about RSS,
thats why I put the query to the list, I did not expect somebody to ask what
is Ranked Set Sampling, because a google of Ranked Set Sampling will produce
many papers, I could not find an R package that has a piece that calculates
mean or variance from a ranked set sample. The conclusion is to ask a person
who wrote a paper directly for a code. If I get one I will share it provided
the author agree to that. Thanks again

Ahmed

 Yes; search terms ' ranked set sampling r-project ' ... does produce a
 very complete book-length piece: Robust Nonparametric Statistical Methods
 (2010) by Hettmansperger and McKean which has a section on the question
 posed at printed pg 53 (pg 64 of the pdf version) and on second print page
 cites R code available:

 And that link does not succeed, but  this one does:

 (And I note that Terpstra and McKean are co-authors and that the same
 institution.)

 I wonder if this is a phrase that is uniformly understood? One
 possibility
 is that you are asking to sample elements of a set based on some
 ranking
 function. In that case you may need to describe in more detail how you
 want
 to handle ties and whether this function is supposed to deal with
 multivariate strata. (There are many base functions that handle
 univariate
 situations and there are packages that provide support for more complex
 ones.)

 You are also requested (in the Posting Guide) to provide an example
  that

 It's a fairly well-defined concept. I.e., you can google for it...

Then there must be more versions of that text than the one you with

# which bears your advisor's name as co-author and is presumably  
sitting on his website

...has an entry:

1.9 Ranked Set  
Sampling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

And there VERY DEFINITELY IS a 4 page section that bears that title in  
the body of the text. Which leads me to ask: How often do you talk to  
your advisor?

Dear All;

I have searched to see if any code in R was written to calculate mean and
variance of a Ranked Set Sample, but did not find any. Is there any package
for RSS, or kindly can somebody share a code he/she wrote, I am very
grateful and willing to acknowledge that in my work. Thanks much
