Statistical inference and data analysis for inverted Kumaraswamy distribution based on maximum ranked set sampling with unequal samples
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: A very useful modification to ranked set sampling (RSS) that allows a larger set size without significantly increasing ranking errors is the maximum ranked set sampling with unequal samples (MRSSU) approach. This article covers the parameter estimation of the inverted Kumaraswamy distribution using MRSSU and RSS designs. The maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation techniques are considered. The regarded Bayesian estimation technique is determined in the case of non-informative and informative priors represented by Jeffreys and gamma priors, respectively. Squared error and minimum expected are the two loss functions that are employed. We presented a simulation study to evaluate the performance of the recommended estimations using root mean squared error and relative bias. The Bayes point estimates were computed using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. Additional conclusions have been made based on actual geological data regarding the intervals between Kiama Blowhole's 64 consecutive eruptions. Based on the same number of measured units, the results of simulation and real data analysis showed that MRSSU estimators performed much better than their RSS counterparts.
