Estimating parameters of Morgenstern type bivariate distribution using bivariate ranked set sampling

Abstract

This paper develops estimating parameters for Morgenstern type bivariatedistribution by using bivariate ranked set sampling procedure as an alterna-tive method to simple random sampling. This proposed procedure gives anopportunity to estimate all distribution's parameters simultaneously whichis not investigated in previous studies, yet. In the last part of this paper,simulation studies show properties of the new estimators and compare themwith some other existed estimators.
