Empirical Likelihood Inference for Population Quantiles with Unbalanced Ranked Set Samples

Pages 4179-4188 | Received 09 Oct 2009, Accepted 09 Jul 2010, Published online: 03 Nov 2011
 

Abstract

We consider nonparametric interval estimation for the population quantiles based on unbalanced ranked set samples. We derived the large sample distribution of the empirical log likelihood ratio statistic for the quantiles. Approximate intervals for quantiles are obtained by inverting the likelihood ratio statistic. The performance of the empirical likelihood interval is investigated and compared with the performance of the intervals based on the ranked set sample order statistics.
