Improved EDF-Based Tests for Weibull Distribution Using Ranked Set Sampling

It is well known that ranked set sampling (RSS) is superior to conventional simple random sampling (SRS) in that it frequently results in more effective inference techniques. One of the most popular and broadly applicable models for lifetime data is the Weibull distribution. This article proposes different modified goodness-of-fit tests based on the empirical distribution function (EDF) for the Weibull distribution. The recommended RSS tests are compared to their SRS counterparts. For each scheme, the critical values of the relevant test statistics are computed. A comparison of the power of the suggested goodness-of-fit tests based on a number of alternatives is investigated. RSS tests are more effective than their SRS equivalents, according to simulated data.
