master’s thesis/ in the College of Computer Science and Mathematics -Department of Statistics and Informatics entitled “A Generalization of Exponentiated Pareto-I Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling with Application”
Master’s thesis by Zainab Tariq Abdullatif
supervised by Dr. Rikan Abdulazeez Ahmed
The thesis addresses data collection from large communities using ranked sampling, reducing costs and outlier impact. It employs the Exponential–Pareto distribution to fit small-value data and improve flexibility
The study focused on ranked set sampling to enhance distribution estimation and accuracy while minimizing outlier effects. Two methods for generalizing probability distributions were used, and their parameters were estimated using maximum likelihood, least squares, and moments with the R programming language
The thesis aimed to achieve flexible results when modeling phenomena using composite probability distributions and to improve sample quality and the accuracy of estimates through the Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) techniqueThe discussion committee consists of
