Abstract

In this article, a dynamic reliability measure based on ranked set sampling is introduced, and its properties are investigated in theory and simulation. The results support the preference of the suggested index over the analogous one in simple random sampling. A data set from an agricultural experiment is analyzed for illustration. © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
