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.
