Abstract
The estimates of the parameters of the generalized geometric distribut ion are obtained by using ranked set sampling procedure. These estimat es are compared with the ordered least squares estimates given by Down ton (1954, Annals of Mathematical Statistics 25, 303-316). It is shown that the relative precisions of our estimators are higher than those of the ordered least squares estimators. Furthermore, the relative pre cision of our estimator for the population mean is higher than the usu al estimator based on ranked set sampling.
