Efficient body fat estimation using multistage pair ranked set sampling.
Statistical Methods in Medical Research 2017 January 2
Rank-based sampling methods are applicable in settings where precise measurements are expensive, but small sets of units can be accurately ranked at negligible cost. This article introduces one such a design, called multistage pair ranked set sampling. It mitigates ranking burden associated with a competitor scheme, namely multistage ranked set sampling. The mean estimator in multistage pair ranked set sampling is unbiased, and under perfect rankings has variance no larger than its simple random sampling counterpart. Although the suggested mean estimator is outperformed by its multistage ranked set sampling analog in terms of precision under perfect rankings, the situation may be reversed if cost considerations are taken into account. The methodology is illustrated using a medical dataset.
