We derive some general results on the Fisher information (FI) contained in the data obtained from the ranked set sampling (RSS) design relative to its counterpart under the simple random sampling (SRS) for a finite mixture model. We propose different variations of RSS data and show how to...

In this paper, we present a class of efficient simulation and modified shrinkage testimators (ST) for the mean µ of normal distribution, when a prior estimate µ<SUB align="right"><SMALL>0</SMALL></SUB> of the mean µ is available from the past. The main idea is to incorporate the prior estimate µ<SUB align="right"><SMALL>0</SMALL></SUB> by modifying the standard...</small></sub></small></sub>
