Abstract
In this paper, a new sampling scheme called systematic ranked set sampling for estimating the population mean is introduced. The performance of the proposed estimator is discussed along with its properties, and it is also shown that the new sampling scheme generates an unbiased estimator. The variance and percentage relative efficiency of the proposed estimator are computed using different symmetric distributions. It is observed from both simulation study and real data set that the new sampling scheme is more efficient than usual ranked set sampling and simple random-sampling schemes.
